Baghdad or Indianapolis?
What’s the difference between Baghdad and Indianapolis? If you lose your home in Baghdad, it’s because an ineffective government couldn’t stop a car bomber. Indianapolis they just mail you a property tax bill. This may sound harsh but I am now officially fed with the government in Marion County, while citizens are losing their homes and having to move because of high taxes, there are actually discussions about giving elected county officials raises.
The County Salary Recommendation panel met yesterday and began laying the groundwork for increases in the pay of offices like the Coroner, Assessor, Auditor, Surveyor, Treasurer, etc. So while someone like Dr. Ken Ackles gets a raise, Hoosiers like Judith Sturges are being forced to move from their homes.
Maybe Indianapolis needs an insurgency, at least they kept their government from raising taxes.
