With Braun going along with IQ45 as a convicted felon, 2 impeachments, creating an insurrection to stop a congressional duty, plus more hatred/division, I don’t and will not go along with Braun. He’s shown his true colors to me, anyway.

“We need to make sure that we find the sweet spot,” Braun said. “We have to account for resources through property taxes and maybe using other sources – income taxes or anything locally you want to do. Use a referendum if you want to be more enterprising through your local government. Just don't expect taxpayers to pay more than the robust growth of the economy or grow the government at the expense of their ability to pay for it.”

Apparently, our governor is either blissfully ignorant of the controls the state has imposed on county and local governments on the taxes they may raise or desperately hoping that the Indiana electorate is.

In order to make up for the shortfall caused by the elimination of property taxes and reduction of income taxes, local government would need to pass taxes which, SURPRISE, must be approved by the VERY SAME Indianapolis GOP legislators grifting the tax breaks. WOW, it's quite the breathtaking shell game Braun is pursuing. One might say - almost Trumpian!
