Dear Senator Simpson,

How upsetting it is to read your quote that property tax reform is bad public policy. Here is your quote:“This is not good public policy,” Senate Minority Leader Vi Simpson, D-Bloomington, said of the tax caps. “But it’s good politics.” What a disappointment voting Democratic has turned out to be for so many in this state. Here where I live many were forced to flee the city, my taxes on my home are 6,656 dollars a year and to you it is just an item to play politics with! Nice and you are a leader none the less. It's nice to know where homeowners need protection from. All along I wondered if it was the democrats that really favor this crazy tax. Over 8000 vacant structures in Indianapolis alone. What do you think you are taxing an endless gold mine? Tax sales are beyond huge where they have them as Hoosiers are just walking away from their property! Again an issue so important to all Hoosier homeowners and its just politics and a joke to you. I will save your comments and make sure we get them posted so we can have a public vetting of your quote.Lets let homeowners weigh in on your thoughts.

Disappointed, Bill

Yeah…kind of like how government sold the income tax to the American people. “It will only affect the rich”, or “Less than one percent of Americans will be affected”.

Yeah, right !!!!

“America's worst state legislature. Corrupt, lobbyist-owned, anti-average-citizen whores.”

There might be maybe 10 state legislators worthy of serving the citizens of our state. The rest? Sociopaths, who serve first and foremost, themselves.

That said, one more time Abdul…it's PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE, not “Pro Tem.”

Otherwise, an excellent post. I'm glad they agree on something. How about mass agreement on Sine Die? Like Jan.2?
