1) Braun’s proposal is literally just a copy-paste of Prop 13 that was implemented in California and has been a DISASTER. It’s a major contributor to their housing crisis.
2) This is Braun’s, what, third property tax plan in just as many months? He still hasn’t addressed the impacts to local budgets. Everything about this campaign and its policy proposals is painfully unserious and lazy.
“Braun also notes his intention to spread economic development around the state, saying there will be “full transparency and accountability” with the allocation of those dollars. He told IBJ last week that spreading the wealth with economic development dollars would include investing in small businesses as well as large corporations”
How dare the state of Indiana invest in the places where businesses want to be? Because what’s holding small towns back is that the state of Indiana isn’t investing in the places that are emptying out? Towns and counties that are bleeding population because no one wants to live there and no business wants to be there because there is no population.
The end result, since Braun and Republicans are dead set on cutting taxes regardless of what anyone tells them, is that we will be left behind as they’re going to make sure we don’t have the funds to compete. More and more employers will end up in the states around us, because we are busy trying to restore small town Indiana from 1950’s, a past that isn’t coming back.
Braun is the latest example that the skills needed to run a business are far different from being an elected official.
Hasn’t this party been investing in Rural Indiana for the past nearly 20 years? Each of them has focused on growing rural towns. But they demographics and populations centers continue to shift away from rural. So investing in expanding the businesses in these areas when they are struggling to find enough staff for needs currently; shouldn’t the drive be in continued placemaking and housing needs for ALL incomes? Maybe inject housing/development grants or use loan funds to get all the second and third floors of these historic downtowns livable and affordable? Set city/urban growth boundaries so public service areas don’t expand more than the tax that developed land brings in.
