FOR MANY OF THESE HOMEOWNERS, RELIEF CANT COME SOON ENOUGH.
HUNDREDS OF HOMEOWNERS STAGED A PROTEST OVER THE RISING COST OF PROPERTY TAXES IN DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS. SOME HOMEOWNERS SAY THEIR PROPERTY TAXES HAVE GONE UP MORE THAN EIGHTY PERCENT! ACCORDING TO THE STATE BUDGET OFFICE, AT LEAST TWENTY COUNTIES HAVE RAISED THEIR TAXES MORE THAN TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT. ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE STATES COUNTIES HAVE SENT OUT ASSESSMENTS SO FAR. THE PROTEST COMES A DAY AFTER THE GOVERNOR OFFERED A COUPLE OF OPTIONS TO LEGISLATIVE LEADERS, IN HOPES OF BRINGING RELIEF TO HOOSIERS.
