The Saga Continues…
There’s more news this morning about taxes and special sessions. State Budget Director Chris Rule says about 10 percent of the property in Marion County might be subject to reassessment, as opposed to all property owners.
Also, one big hang up to a special session might be a lack of trust between House Speake Pat Bauer and Minority Leader Brian Bosma. Both sides think the other might try to use a special session to bring up issues un-related to property taxes.
Meanwhile, there is no word on whether Mayor Bart Peterson will take advantage of the Governor’s extension of the deadline for governments to pass a local option income tax to help offset the increase in property taxes. The Governor’s office says a one percent increase in the income tax would cut Marion County property taxes increases in half.
