Matt Tully
writes today about Governor Daniels finding Indiana has a property tax problem. Which makes me think of the scene in Casablanca where Claude Rains acts so surprised at gambling in Rick's. Taking Down Words also has a
post on the Governor's awakening of the property tax crisis. Both of them deal very well the Governor and I am not going there. (Although, I think Tully's idea of leading the Hoosier Lottery is as short-sighted in its way as all of the band-aids proposed about property taxes and misses an interesting concept of his own). Instead, I am writing about this paragraph from Tully's column:
"What I am hearing from people across the board is, 'I am going to leave the county,' " said Cathy Burton, president of the Marion County Alliance of Neighborhood Associations. "I am very worried."
My reaction is where are they going to go? As I understand it, Marion County does not have a monopoly on the property tax crisis. They just got more of it than anyone else. Madison County has a hefty number of foreclosures - most of Central Indiana does.
In other words - we are all in this out on the frozen lake while the ice cracks.
