as long as they can do it without raising taxes and helping Indy/Marion County, I’m sure the Republicans will be in favor of all sorts of grand plans…
Oh, they said they’re raising taxes and one will again be the gas tax (“in proportion to their use”). And they will continue to keep taxes lower than they should be by diverting money from the populated places where people live (like Marion County) to fund the state highway system. Finally, there’s a shot in there at Marion County for not implementing the $25 million dollar wheel tax, which would be a drop in the bucket as far as what the county needs. Here’s an idea for legislators – stop making the wheel tax optional.
I’m just trying to figure out how they will get Hoosiers to sign onto mileage based taxes, which is where this is headed given the rise of electric vehicles. I don’t know that the current supplemental fees ($221 for an electric car, $74 for a hybrid) are enough.
Given how our legislators love fossil fuels, I could see mandating the reporting of mileage each year for electric cars and charging taxes per mile. It wouldn’t go well at all for gas vehicles despite their increasing efficiency (you thought people got angry about masks?), but it would be the cleanest way to account for road usage.
Can we sunset the downtown TIF as part of the deal?
The Bottleworks TIF?
Why, Murray? Your disdain for Indianapolis continues to shine. You are by far the most consistently-negative poster on here.
