The Times has an article named, Lake Commissioners Pledge Veto for Food, Beverage Tax. According to this article the Lake County Commissioners plan to veto the increase in tax on food and beverage. Alot of the commissioners state that they do not want to go back on their word of “no new taxes”. The idea of a commissioner trying to be true to campaign pledges is refreshing in an of itself. One of the commissioner believes that the local government still has not done enough to cut the fat. I, too, believe that not enough fat has been cut in government.
One area that needs fat cutting is township assessors. There are over a 1000 township assessors and that is more than California, Texas, Ohio, and Florida. Now, if you have not noticed Indiana is in some cases half the size of the states mention. The reduction in township assessors not only save money, but it also is proposed to create fair property tax assessment.
The cutting of assessors is only one area that needs trimming. Other areas that may need review is the amount of items that is on the property taxes. The amount of taxes paid need to re-appropriated and it will take all of us to determine the best mode of action to get that done fairly.
