What does the property tax plan have to do with me?

Governor Mitch Daniels' property tax plan, introduced last night on the six o'clock news all over the state, is a revolutionary proposal that will affect everyone who pays taxes and everyone who spends taxes.

Our message to you: let your voice be heard.

For example, if you are in a county where you need to prepare for a predictable growth in services, this plan could hamstring your ability to put new institutions in place. Spending would be limited to the average growth in personal income over the previous six years. No loopholes. No exclusions.

If you own rental property, the property tax cap the governor proposed is twice as high as the residential rate. And if you own commercial or industrial property, it's three times as high.

If you're a school corporation, you'll suddenly have to learn how to manage referendum campaigns.

There's much more. We at Executive Media say that if you don't find your voice, you'll get lost in the clamor.

We can help. Give us a call.
