Rep. Bill Friend, House Minority Floor Leader, wishes former Governor Dr. Otis R. Bowen Birthday. Governor Bowen, the father of property tax reform in Indiana, celebrated his 90th birthday on Tuesday. Rep. Friend also discusses the passage of Senate Joint Resolution 1, which contains the proposed constitutional property tax caps.
