2018 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Budget & Economy


Rick Snyder: Government sets stage for business success

We have created over 540,000 private sector jobs, we rank number one in the Great Lakes States, number six in the nation and to put that number in perspective for you, that is more than the populations of Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Marquette, Traverse City and Muskegon combined; that's how many jobs we created. We as government don't create the jobs, we create the environment for success.

Eric Holcomb: $250-million Next Level Indiana Trust Fund

For all Hoosiers to be successful, we must continue to cultivate our strong and diverse economy--modernizing traditional sectors like manufacturing and agriculture, strengthening those where we've built a competitive advantage--like aerospace and life sciences--and nourishing emerging ones, like tech. That's exactly why we established the new $250-million Next Level Indiana Trust Fund, and in the first quarter of this year we'll begin to make strategic investments to build and support more innovation and entrepreneurship in our state.
