  1. The city could have millions more in additional taxes by simply making it a more attractive place to live, with better infrastructure and cracking down on crime and homelessness. Saying you need captive employees to recycle money from their salaries that already came from Marion County taxpayers is an incredibly dumb argument. The Democrats are such hostages to their activist wing that they cannot do the most obvious stuff to improve quality of life for all.

    1. SO if you want to know why Indy doesn’t have all the things, see my answer about where money goes from county income taxes.

  2. I can understand the political reasons for a county residency requirement, but look at this another way: How would any private sector employer be able to attract and keep employees if they had this requirement.

    What I strongly disagree with is how the state allocates local income taxes. I worked at IPL and 8 out of 10 employees worked outside of Marion county. Income earned in Marion county went disproportionately outside of Marion county, yet they used roads and services 5 or 6 days a week inside Marion county. They came to dinners, concerts, plays and sporting events inside Marion county. They had jobs because Indianapolis existed. Marion county created that economic engine and the money flows to the dognut counties.
