THE INSTALLMENT PLAN
Marion County Treasurer Mike Rodman is making news this morning on a couple fronts. Rodman says he will ask the Governor’s Office to allow taxpayers to pay their upcoming third property tax bill in installments.
Under state law, the Department of Local Government and Finance can allow residential property taxpayers to make payments in installments. All that is required is that an ordinance be passed, which means the City-County Council can do the taxpayers some good for a change.
Rodman also told me this morning that if 7th District Congresswoman Julia Carson doesn’t run again, he will throw his hat into the ring. He says he’s fought for taxpayers at the local level and would do so at the national level. He also says Democrats did so poorly in the last election because they did not give citizens a reason to come out and vote for them.
