The Taxman Cometh

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Property taxes are due today.   If you’re in Marion County you’re paying your 2008 reconciliation bill.   Although 65% of property taxpayers saw either a decrease or no change in their property tax bills, 35%  saw an increase.

And while I don’t think repealing property taxes will work, I firmly believe that if you want to pay less taxes, you need to have less government.   There are more than 60 taxing units in Marion County.

Schools obviously take up the biggest chunk of your tax bill,  they are followed by township government which is about another 16%.

Remember that when you’re writing your check today.
