Here are the top 5 stories in Indianapolis today:

1. The new state revenue forecast will determine if tax cuts are in the cards at the Indiana Statehouse, says Governor Eric Holcomb. The Governor is taking a "wait-and-see" approach to the possibility that the Republican-controlled General Assembly will vote to reduce taxes during the 10-week Indiana legislative session, which begins Jan. 4. As far as he's concerned, tax cuts are "not off the table," but noted that this option largely will depend on the results of the state revenue forecast due to be released Thursday. (nwitimes.com)
2. Indiana police have identified a "vehicle of interest" in Saturday's fatal hit-and-run of an 11-year-old boy near the intersection of Wicker Road and South Tibbs Avenue. The photo released by the police shows a red truck with tires and a white Bobcat loaded onto its trailer. IMPD accident investigators are asking anyone with information about this incident to call the IMPD Hit and Run Office at (317) 327-6549. (WTHR)
