How do they plan on addressing the holes that they’re blowing in local budgets?
Oh, they aren’t? They’re just saying “F U” to localities and moving on? Typical.
I also love that they’re just proposing what Reagan did in California with Prop 13, which has resulted in a catastrophic housing crisis built up over decades. More Republican failures coming to Indiana.
Let’s call property tax cuts what they are – a move to defund local government and schools that local governments will have to actually carry out. It’s real easy to say “well, the locals can just raise income taxes.”
A few areas will pass those increases, likely those areas that already pass tax increases like school referendums. They’re the areas of Indiana where people already want to move to – the big cities and the donut counties.
Throughout much of Indiana, because elected officials like to stay in office, they will cut services rather than implement local income tax hikes… and catch the blame for less police and even worse schools. Meanwhile, these same state legislators claim to care about the failing state of much of Indiana … will continue to profess an ignorance of the connection of their actions.
What Indiana needs is investment in the future. Better infrastructure. Better education system. A healthier workforce. What we have are legislators who don’t see a future worth investing in.
wait, are you suggesting the Indiana Republicans are working on defunding the police? Does President Trusk know about this? PJ Pance?
Sycophants and courtesans…that’s the composition of the Republican majority of the Indiana Legislature.
The legislature always 10 steps behind. Let’s take an issue thats important and study it for years. The issue is that people’s property tax bills shot up ridiculously fast. The cap is on the percentage of assessed value not on the increase in assessed values. So that’s the problem they should be looking to solve. My taxes went up 25% in one year. So that’s what they need to be focused and not screw the cities. There should be a balance.
Hilarious. The Indy View readers are mad about potential tax cuts.
I see people getting upset about defunding schools and police, Chuck. Happy new year to ya.
