So Who Is Responsible?
I’ve seen tax bills increase from 1 percent to more than 200 percent as tax bills have started hitting the doorsteps. But some of you have wanted to know about local governments and their spending. Overall, Marion County spending is up 10 percent or $131 million more of your money. But that’s an average. Here’s a list of the worst offenders when it comes to spending.
Clermont – 162 percent increase.
Decatur Township – 49 percent increase.
Wayne Township – 40 percent increase.
Indianapolis Fire District – 36 percent increase
Franklin Township – 32 percent increase
Indianapolis Public Schools – 21 percent
Marion County – 25 percent
Now here are the governments who are spending the least of your money
Washington Township – 95 percent decrease.
Speedway Public Transit – 30 percent decrease.
Out of the nearly 50 units of local government, 18 are spending less. Only one school district is spending less, Warren Township.
Let me know if you want more info. Sometimes it pays to be a carpetbagger.
