The $329 Million Subsidy
I just got some shocking information from the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget. Marion County got nearly $330 million in property tax subsidies in 2006 from the state of Indiana. That means this government would have cost you an extra $329 million had it not been for the state picking up part of the tab.
All this does is hide the real cost of government. The state should not be paying that $329 million, you should be paying for it directly! That way you can see the real costs of how much this government costs and decide if it’s something you really want to pay for instead of just complain about.
