    1. We also have the lowest collection of roads that don’t appear to have been bombed by a military operation. I saw a pothole so large this weekend trying to go from 86th to Keystone that Rik Smits could have stood in the bottom and you wouldn’t have seen him.

      The problem isn’t that taxes are too high. It’s that they’re too low and we’ve cut too far. I mean, look at the collection of intellect on stage rambling about tax cuts to people who actually spent their time to show up and listen. If that’s not a statement that we need to spend more on education, I don’t know what is.

    2. Did I attend to listen to Rob Kendall and JD Prescott speak?

      I could have stood in my house and stared at my pantry and gotten more useful information.

    1. At least he came to work today – since he already announced he will be working from home in Jasper for the duration of his term

    1. Why are the people who call for lower taxes ALWAYS those who benefited from higher taxes for decades that paid for their infrastructure and their educations and their services and now they just want to pull the ladder up after themselves in their dying days because they don’t feel like doing for others … what their predecessors did for them?

    2. there were over 1000 people there and none of them were paid protestors. anyone against fixing this system is a fool.

      government is not the answer

    3. I paid ~$475,000 in property taxes last year and I am still getting a deal at the current rates.

      Just stating your opinion as fact does not make it actually true – looks like a severe case of TDS

    4. I’d also like to remind you that in this current system, we’ve allowed local hospitals to buy all the nursing homes and divert the federal money intended for the care of the elderly to pay CEO salaries and build shiny new hospitals.

      Meanwhile we are cutting spending on the Healthy Indiana Plan, pushing more and more people trying to make ends meet into only going to the ER, and we’ve decided to cut spending on the medically complex and those with autism as not worthy of adequate investment.

      And that’s on top of a funding formula that is building really nice highways in the middle of nowhere while the places where people actually live have roads that are trash.

      The taxes aren’t too high. They aren’t high enough. If you want to cut government spending, start with eliminating township government.

  1. An average house in Martinsville pays less than $100/mo in property taxes. You couldn’t get me to drive to Indy and spend the day protesting for $100.

  2. OK, I am listening. Eliminate Property Tax.

    Now, tell me how you are going to pay for roads, schools, fire/police/medical, infrastructure, maintenance, parks, libraries… The list goes on.
