On Gun Control: Opposes funding NRA gun training for teachers

It seems counterproductive to pass legislation that puts more guns into schools rather than working to keep guns out of schools. This bill requires teachers to go through a National Rifle Association (NRA) training, instead of being trained by local law enforcement. Our state shouldn't be in the business of funneling money into organizations like the NRA, at the expense of our children's safety. Why isn't our law enforcement academy asked to conduct the school firearm training for teachers? Source: IN Senate Dems press release for 2020 Indiana governor race Apr 10, 2019

On Tax Reform: Authored property tax amnesty program

Melton authored an amendment to establish a property tax amnesty program that will give taxpayers the opportunity to pay back late taxes without the added burden of high interest rates and penalty fees. "This tax amnesty program will be life-changing to so many Hoosier taxpayers. It will provide a relief to individuals by forgiving property tax penalties and interest to help them get back on track and back in good standing on their taxes."
