The latest version of a property-tax plan offered by House and Senate Republicans giving Hoosiers an immediate 30-percent cut in homestead property taxes is still not enough for some Democratic lawmakers in East Central Indiana.
Among those opposing the plan is State Senator Sue Errington from Muncie, who voted against House Bill 1001. With property tax caps on homesteads based on assessed valuation instead of income, wealthy homeowners will get more of a break while middle income people with lower valued homes will see less while still paying an extra 1 cent in sales taxes.
