Court hears arguments in property tax lawsuit

nwi.com :

"An attorney for several taxpayers challenging the constitutionality of Indiana's property tax system and steps taken by the governor asked the Indiana Tax Court on Wednesday to let the lawsuit proceed. Attorneys for the state, Marion County and Indianapolis argued primarily that the lawsuit should be dismissed because the taxpayers who sued had not exhausted administrative remedies. John Price, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said that seeking such remedies would be time-consuming and fruitless at a time when Indiana is facing numerous, pressing property tax problems that are hitting many taxpayers hard."
