A paws in taxation

Have you ever paid the state's $2-a-year dog tax? Did you even know the state had a dog tax? Well, don't worry. It's going away. One of the state's most obscure (and possibly most ignored) provisions, the tax was instituted to create a pot of money to pay out to those whose livestock was killed by dogs, not exactly a big threat these days.

But the General Assembly, in getting rid of the tax last session, replaced it with a local option county dog tax. If Allen County imposed the tax, it would probably be a little more serious about collecting it than the state has been.

You scofflaws, you.
