Governmental waste of time
Afters months of toil, the Tax and Financing Policy Commission has devised a plan to relieve the property tax burden. Their conclusion...shift the tax.
The chairman of said commission is pictured holding what he called "a road map for the General Assembly." The roughly 1000 page 'road map' shouldn't be too difficult to follow. Not surprisingly, the roads to "spending caps" and "budget cuts" were not included on that map. Don't expect legislators to visit these points of taxpayer interest.
I am surprised the Commission recommended the Constitutional cap. The Constitution should not be amended for less than elimination of property tax. Our Federal tax code has been amended over 10,000 times since 1980 and no longer serves as a guiding document, but a confusing step by step instruction manual. The Indiana Constitution will suffer the same fate as the tax code when the General Assembly decides to amend the cap to a higher level...and they will.
Plain & Simple: One Commission member said "We did hear. We did listen." Yet they still came to the same conclusion they held at the beginning of the Commission. Many of us would be more than willing to participate in a real discussion on tax relief. But then again, they wouldn't listen to distinguished economists and legal authorities, why would they listen to us silly tax paying voters?

They sure sound cocky, don't they?
We'll see how they fare this session.
Remember? Not one person said Ballard would win, yet THE PEOPLE, organized a grass roots effort to get a politically pristine, honorable, veteran elected.
They are absolutely idiotic if they think they can pull off what they want. THE PEOPLE will have THEIR way, not the way of the politicians.
That is how America is supposed to work.

One year the tax rate rises and property taxes go up. The next year assessments increase the property taxes.It's a forever spiral upward.Property taxes are their built in excuses to point fingers at each other, all the while proclaiming their innocence and propaganda: Elect me, I'll fix it. To their surprise this time it affected the entire state thereby revealing the total disaster we have. Yet the government is determined to tweak the system so they can keep this yearly pickpocket of its citizens. No one should the government to keep and afford their homes. No one should owe taxes on UNREALIZED gains on an arbitrary value set with rules no one can understand. We now have government against the citizens. Fair and equal it isn't. Fight this citizens!
