Gov. Daniels knows a good idea when he sees one:
Gov. Mitch Daniels today said the state should consider creating local tax adjustment boards that would be in charge of controlling property tax rates in Indiana's 92 counties.Speaking before the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, the governor said such boards would help simplify the state's complicated property tax system and give citizens a clearer picture of how their money is being spent.
The governor says the General Assembly should take up the topic, but it has been brought up once or twice that county councils can reinstate the boards by a simple vote.
UPDATE: Mitch Harper points out that one thing the legislature can do is make the adjustment boards mandatory instead of voluntary.
