Property tax relief should have started and ended with seniors on fixed incomes living in homes that they have owned for at least 5-10 years.
I’m not too interested in getting a $300 property tax credit and a $1000 local income tax increase so that my local government and schools can make up for the lost revenue.
Fact.
Agree
Only $1000 local income tax increase? you’re an optimist. Don’t forget all the school referendums they’ll add to it… “conveniently” in off-cycle, low turnout, special elections. Can’t wait to see how much the “cryin’ poor” mayor of Carmel increases the local income tax.
Agree.
Agree
So defund our schools so I can save $25 a month? There is nothing good or meaningful about this. No Thank You.
Indiana: a state that doesn’t believe the future is worth investing in.
This is so stupid.
What prevents local governments from increasing the assessed value of homes to make up the lost revenue? This is the biggest source of property tax increases.
Nailed it!
Great point. Jeff Thompson is an idiot.
That’s literally the only thing this bill should have been correcting if they wanted to “fix” property taxes. All of this MESS could have been avoided.
Indiana’s property taxes are not too high. They are too low. As a result, our state ranks right down there with Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and West Virginia in health care, education, and mortality. Indiana? The joke is on us.
What a stunt. Typical of the way the GOP is dealing with pretty much all issues. It all sounds great in sound bites to the MAGA base but in reality it ends up hurting those very people. Wise up folks. This is not in your best interest.
When the Governor ran he promised sweeping property tax reform. This is not what he promised to the voters. This does very little to property owners and especially to renters. Local income will be raised along with additional wheel taxes. They have lowered one tax and then raised others. If they call this a victory which it is to them its a failure to everyday citizens. With so many creative and good ways to make our state better as other states have done we have failed once again to make our communities better. The Governor has no idea what the majority of our citizens go through to make ends meet.Bad policies lead to disastrous results. We have not balanced our budget in fours years.. Our state should be moving foward with policies that have real effects on our citizens. This bill did not. Every dollar that we take in taxes should benefit all walks of life not just a few. The Governor on the campaign trail said Indiana should lead on issues that make everyone better. A politician for sure.
