Mitch Daniels To Unveil Constitutional Amendment For Property Tax Reform Tomorrow

Governor Mitch Daniels has announced that he will be making a speech about taxes tomorrow at 5 p.m. CDT. News reports say Mitch Daniels will offer up a constitutional amendment as a solution to Indiana's property tax crisis.

Since we are in the Chicago media market, we'll either have to read about it in the newspaper or watch the live broadcast via the web at Indiana's IN.gov website.

The Indianapolis Star reports Governor Mitch Daniels could offer a constitutional amendment to provide for property tax reform:

Gov. Mitch Daniels will suggest amending Indiana's constitution when he reveals his plan for property tax relief in a live TV broadcast tomorrow evening, his office said today.

Writes Indiana Barrister's Abdul Hakim-Shabazz:

No one in the Governor's office is commenting, but from what I've been able to gather Daniels will not call for the elimination of property taxes, particularly residential but he does plan to get them as low as possible.

I wish I was able to find a link on IN.gov to the webcast, but I haven't been able to find the announcement yet.

Here's a news report based on Governor Mitch Daniel's news release:

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels will outline his plan for property tax relief for Hoosiers on Tuesday. He will describe his plan during remarks that will be offered for live broadcast at 6 p.m. (5 p.m. in Northwest Indiana).

According to a press release, Daniels' plan will offer "fair, far-reaching and final property tax relief" for Hoosier homeowners. He will seek an amendment to Indiana’s Constitution to make changes permanent.
