I am in Indiana also.
It is the fault of us when they addressed the movement several years back to remove property taxes. We let them make it 1% with exceptions.
We let them, it us our fault. We allowed the snake in the house and got bit.
We need to start again and now remove them completely.
Not all was fine. It took a while....
