Property tax foes join forces Alliance will lobby legislators not just to cut levy but repeal it

Hoosiers For Fair Taxation:

"John Price, a lawyer who represented taxpayers in a lawsuit claiming the property-tax system was unconstitutional, said yesterday that the legislative tax debate is missing a serious discussion of the elimination of property taxes, despite the idea's popularity.

That's why 10 taxpayer groups have decided to create the Indiana Property Tax Repeal Alliance. Price, the alliance's chairman, said many of the members helped Republican Greg Ballard win the mayor's race in Indianapolis, where property taxes emerged as a key issue. 'The purpose of the alliance is to ensure the taxpayers who were heard in this election very soundly will be heard in this chamber and the chamber across the hall,' Price said, standing in front of the Indiana House."
