Bart Peterson-Remeber Indianapolis Property Taxes when you vote
Published by October 5th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 2 CommentsI just received a letter from Brian Bosma that discusses his concern for the property tax situation. Here is the Republican 5 point plan that he supports.
- Convert the rebate check, which some have predicted will now be issued as late as February 2008, to a credit on the Fall 2007 installment of taxes.
- Extend the deadline for filing of the homestead credit for 2007 to September 15th of this year.
- Grant local counties the flexibility to apply the credit to those individuals and communities hardest hit by recent tax increases.
- Freeze child welfare levies in 2007, with the state picking up all levy increases for 2007 and following years, providing an additional 50 million in property tax cuts;and
- Appropriate an additional 100 million of state funds toward immediate residential property tax relief.
Here are the closing comments: While these proposals are unique to the House Republican team, and while we unsuccessfully called for each of these measures during the 2007 session, we believe they are now ripe for discussion and immediate action. Of course, permanent reform of our tax system including, in my view, the repeal of residential property taxes must be on our agenda for the next session of the legislature.
OK… so he says that it should be on the agenda. Does that mean he supports it or not? I also noticed that Teresa Lubbers was shown as being against property tax repeal. Does anyone know where she stands on this?
I really like the comments given by Bill Styring on YouTube.
I know you have been anxious to know what is being done about the Indiana property tax crisis in Marion County. I have been actively involved in helping to find a solution and wanted to update you on today’s events.
Below is the news release describing Governor Daniels’ approach to a short term fix on the crisis we’re facing in Marion County. Much work is yet to be done.
I am interested in your opinion on long-term reform of our property tax system in the State of Indiana. Feel free to e-mail me your ideas on this important subject, and I will keep them in mind as we discuss long-term reform.
Thank you for contacting my office with your input.
Sincerely,

Mitch Daniels Freezes Taxes at 2006 Levels
Published by July 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments
Mitch Daniels made a statement today that is a 2 part fix. It allows taxpayers to only pay what they paid last year. He has also appointed former governor Joe Kernan to head a blue ribbon panel designed to do an investigation on ways to fix the problem.
There is also a whole lot of evidence that the whole assesment process had tons of errors. The full report can be seen here.
Hopefully this is one way to solve the Indiana Property Tax nightmare.
