Star Praises Governor’s Property Tax Proposal

In today’s editorial, the Indianapolis Star states that “Our position: Governor offers far-reaching yet realistic plan for overhauling property tax system.”

Some Quotes from the article:

None of the tinkering had lasting effect. After brief pauses, the property tax trend line continued its upward trajectory.

Gov. Mitch Daniels on Tuesday proposed a tax plan that could finally end that cycle. Important details, including the language of a proposed constitutional amendment, must still be determined, but Daniels has offered a far-reaching yet realistic framework for overhauling Indiana’s property tax system. The effort deserves bipartisan support.

But the governor’s package moves the property tax debate forward in a promising direction. Lawmakers must give their highest priority to long-lasting property reform in next year’s session. Daniels has provided them with a sound map for beginning that journey.
