Keller votes in favor of the income tax

“I assure you many [in my district] were for it because they saw where the money was going. They hate the tax, but they like the result,” Scott Keller (R) said. “I think people in those areas hit hardest, like Meridian-Kessler and Butler Tarkington, if they’re not satisfied that there will be a reduction in their taxes (due to reassessment) the tendency will be to ‘throw out the bums.” I take it Keller hasn’t bother to talk to his own constituents about this matter. As the Star’s analysis of the property tax assessment increases in Marion Co. revealed, some of the hardest hit areas were in his own district. (Advance Indiana)
