Indiana could triple the number of students eligible for state-funded preschool.  Republicans, including Governor-Elect Eric Holcomb, have said they’ll seek expansion of a five-county pilot program, but House Speaker Brian Bosma is the first to propose a specific target. He says tripling the program’s size to 75-hundred pupils would add 20-million dollars to the price tag, a jump Bosma says is a reasonable next step.
