Provide Local Funding Options

Position

The Chamber believes that the councilmen and -women of a city should have the authority to distinguish their city from other cities in accord with the council's perception of the needs, wants and resources of the city's citizens and taxpayers and that the same principle should apply to towns, school corporations, counties and other local governments governed by elected officials. For this reason, the Chamber supports a system that allows locally elected officials to raise the funds necessary to meet the needs and wants of the communities they serve. The limitations of the 1%-2%-3% cap and caps on property tax revenue are contrary to this principle. If the citizens believe they have been disserved by local elected officials, they can vote the bums out.
