Ind. Law - Remonstrances: Who should decide bond issues’ fate?
Karen Francisco of the Fort Wayne Jounral Gazette has a long and comprehensive opinion piece today on the remonstrances issue, titled "Who should decide bond issues’ fate?" But the piece goes further than that, concluding with a discussion of reducing or eliminating property taxes. A quote:
The immediate issue is whether all registered voters or only property owners should have the right to approve or reject major property-tax backed bond issues. But how it plays out in the long run is ultimately the question: Isn’t there a better way to pay for school buildings, jails, libraries and other major projects than sticking local property taxpayers with the entire bill?For background, see this list of earlier ILB entries.
