How can I find this information on my own? Where is there a spending report that would show me the numbers?

No one is fascinated with the Center Township Trustee’s wasteful spending.
The taxpayers are paying for 4 buildings instead of one to administer poor relief. The trustee is not suppose to be a real estate developer.

Center Township Trustee Carl Drummer seems to fascinate endlessly so many folks all over central Indiana - whats the increase or decrease percentage on Center Township government?

Russ: Educated guess - Speedway Public Transit is likely a taxing body so the excluded city can contract for service with IPTC - known better as IndyGo. At one time an IndyGo bus that picked up a passenger in Lawrence or Beech Grove paid an extra 50c, and in Johnson County an extra $1.00

I don’t know if that is still the case.

Speedway has public transit?

I think we need a complete list of the 50 so we can start the THROW THE BUMS OUT Campaign for 2007. I’m certainly starting to take note of who’s in office in Wayne Township right now.

So of this needs more information (rather than the list provided here).

The Washington Twp. decrease is likely due to the fire merger (the cost is reflected in the 36 percent increase for IFD). If dollar values were available, I think that would bear out.

“Marion County” is a rather amorphous entity, and I’m not sure where the increases are .

This is good info. My reaction since this storm started brewing earlier this year was to use the voting booth to try to displace those chiefly responsible for this mess - both the income and property tax increases.

I realize that’s probably complicated and it probably wouldn’t be easy to generate a list of people to vote against. But that would be great if such a list was compiled here. In other words, I want to use my votes, but am not certain how to use them.

Abdul,

What about in Hamilton County? Can you give us a Carmel breakdown?
