How is it $200 on a 100k earner when it is a property tax increase ?
Everyone who uses police services doesnt own property and property taxes.
I think that is to make the overall budget balanced. Police just happen to be what Indy is looking to cut.
Most PD's, within the whole budget, are funded off some type of sales tax and building permits. That way, everyone, including tourists and renters, pay the sales tax, and the big businesses that build buildings pay the building permits. Prop tax usually pays for education and infrastructure, but I'm not an expert by far on that.
But they are not raising sales tax or permit fees. They are raising property tax (millage) which you spun into income tax.
Your premise is flawed.
Ooops. Typo. That should be 100K home, not 100K earner.
