Sen. Robert Meeks (center) is expected to announce his retirement at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Indiana Senate Chambers, informed and reliable Republican sources tell Howey Politics Indiana. Meeks reportedly suffered a stroke this spring. He has been influential on the budget process. Earlier this spring, Senate President Pro Tempore David Long began moving people into place signalling a possible change in fiscal leadership. State Sen. Ronnie Alting was moved to an adviser on the Indiana Budget Committee. Meeks had not scheduled his annual golf outing and had been donating chunks of his campaign warchest to other candidates. Meeks was first elected to the Senate in 1988 and chairs the powerful appropriations committee. Expected to seek the Senate District 13 seat are State Reps. Marlin Stutzman and Matt Bell. Meeks is shown here at a 2006 Major Moves rally with Gov. Mitch Daniels, and, at the far left, State Sen. Glenn Howard, who missed the entire 2008 legislative session with health problems.
