2 thoughts on “Assessed value boom in Indiana drives jump in maximum levy appeals

  1. So let me get this straight: Indiana’s Republican Supermajority legislature installed a system under which state bureaucrats instead of local elected fiscal authorities set local tax rates?

    I guess that’s consistent with micromanaging Indianapolis affairs from the statehouse.

    1. Home rule is the baby that was tossed with the bath water a long time ago. The ego of the central state rules. Everybody serves the state rather than the state staying out of the way. With Holcomb’s guidance, Republicans are responsible for the largest tax increases in state history – acting like a bunch of democrats.
