  1. Talking with the director of Morgan County Public Libraries, they are expecting a 40% cut in income in the next two years. There will most likely be cuts in operating hours and services.

    The state legislature should just cut school budgets if they want to make hoosiers dumb…. Oh wait they’re doing that too…

  2. All this for an average of $300 in property tax savings, which means the majority – those below average – probably won’t even notice. It’s just not worth it.
