A classic case of “trickle down” economics caused by the state meddling in the financial affairs of the counties, cities, and town which should have the ability to decide what types of revenue make the most sense for their jurisdictions.
Typical bureaucrats who moan and complain about what they have to spend. The truth is, We the People are telling you to spend less and get over it. Budgets have been fat for years while our property taxes take on the likes of a second mortgage. Our lawmakers solution…give the people a $300 credit. How laughable! Too much money is being spent on education and all property tax revenue should be deducted from the education pot and let these brilliant educators figure it out.
Notice, they only interviewed suburban mayors. I’m pretty sure cities like Indy and Ft Wayne haven’t seen a fat budget in decades.
Towns in Texas needed basic safety systems and the state denied grant applications for 8 years running. Take a look at the bigger picture. You get what you pay for.
The state wants to go bankrupt, and it’s not even trying to fix its problems. We’d all be far more wealthy if the state spent its money to improve road, rail, bridges, busses, and schools – instead of stealing the money to give to scammers, charters, and giant tech companies.
I’d rather have higher taxes if it means better roads, parks, and schools.
Since Mitch Daniel’s property tax caps, the State has taken greater control of county, township, and municipal matters. We need to stop the State from limiting the decision-making ability of local elected leaders.
Work to a REAL budget. These people spend more time figuring out what they can put a tax on and how much they can “incentivise” a company to move to their town.
Do your JOB – work and quit stealing! 250 years ago the same scheme was taking place.
