Almost 30 state have it and Indiana is missing out on a lot of lost revunue. Oh im sure the coal company’s that are rapeing the Indiana landscape hand in hand with IDEM will put up a full court press against it. It always amasses me when I go to Kansas and see them stripping coal that they put the ground back and raise crops on it the next year. In Indiana they rape the ground leave big gullys and lease it to the DNR for $1.00 a year for 20 years to get out of paying tax on the ground then after state of Indiana has spent a fortune fixing it up they come along 20 years later and strip it deeper. TAX the natural resources once they are gone they are gone. How about a extraction tax? Almost 30 state have it and Indiana is missing out on a lot of lost revunue.
