Rep. Tim Brown (R-Crawfordsville) created a buzz and earned a rebuke from the Speaker with his speech during the budget debate in the Indiana House. 

Brown said that the unusual one year budget proposal would permit a new budget in an election year and, with it, the opportunity for the majority Democrats to garner more campaign contributions.  Said Brown, “A vote for this budget is a vote for pay-to-play.”

Minority Leader Brian Bosma, from his seat, said loudly that the comments were not endorsed by Republican Leadership.  House Speaker Pat Bauer took to the mike to lecture Brown saying, “You are not to impugn the ethics of any member!”
