4 thoughts on “Methodist Hospital expansion exposes tax tensions

  1. I believe that the area of the new hospital was put in a TIF district decades ago to support development of the then-“New Methodist”. At that time, state law did not require a TIF to sunset. So this land going off the tax rolls may impact some existing bond commitment. But its “base”, set way back when, probably contributes only minimal unrestricted revenues to the City budget…a key reason the TIF law now requires districts to expire.

  2. It is a little disingenuous to include the cost of the teaching hospital in the amount of “charity” care provided by IU Health. The main reason a hospital has a not-for-profit designation, is that they are expected to provide a certain level of charity care.

    They had more than $6000 million ($6 billion) in revenue, they should should be able to afford $1 million in property taxes.

  3. Further…to the extent that the hospital’s employees can be encouraged to live in Marion County, there will be wage taxes generated on a lot of well-paid (and even average-pay) jobs.

    .

    Let’s imagine 4,000 resident-employees earning an average of $60,000; that would be payroll of $240 million. 1.62% local tax on that level of payroll is almost $3.9 million. Then there’s sales tax on food purchased on site by employees and visitors. Even if my math is off, with only half that number of employee-residents, to imply that the hospital produces NO city tax revenue is not correct.

  4. Maybe you can explain how a company with 6 billion dollars in investments and 500 million in cash qualifies as a non profit? Also explain why they pay their employees so poorly that there are food collection boxes at IUN CARMEL! For employees to bring in food to give to OTHER employees – these r not homeless or unemployed- because said employees come to work HUNGRY and have food insecurity? Absolutely sickening that people who work 40 hours a week can not afford food. And IU expects other employees who r probably struggling themselves to support these hungry employees when IU is raking in millions of dollars from the government to support them during COVID. Hey IU – how about doing something for ur hard working employees who risk their very lives to clean rooms, serve food, transport patients etc. Maybe reach into that 6 billion bucks and serve a FREE breakfast??
