Indiana State Treasurer visits South Bend

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Indiana State Treasurer, Daniel Elliott, visited South Bend Wednesday to discuss his role in managing the state's investments and helping local governments with financing for major infrastructure projects.

Elliott highlighted his office's efforts to help localities bond for infrastructure improvements and raised $1.24 billion investments over two years, avoiding the need to tax Hoosiers.

He also stressed the importance of the Indiana 529 plan to help families save for their children's educations.

"I'm just excited to be able to be out of Indianapolis and here in our communities, talking to folks," said Elliot. "...whether it be here in South Bend, whether it be in Bremen, wherever I'm at just talking and finding out what are the issues that people are struggling with and figure out ways we can solve and tackle those problems."
