Description We test several hypotheses about coalition forming in legislatures using data on Indiana school finance from the 1990s. School district state aid per pupil is regressed on district characteristics and political characteristics of each district's legislators. Results show no evidence of policy cycling. A new coalition appears to have formed in a year when a new party took power in the House. Smaller districts, and districts represented by new legislative leaders, appear to gain aid in new coalitions. There is evidence that legislators seek equalization, but perhaps only under threat of litigation.
