No Lake Co. Income Tax For Now
Filed Under COIT, Income Tax, Lake County Council, tax revolt
I was running a little late to the Lake County Government Center, so I missed the “non-vote” that killed the legislation to impose a new tax on Lake County voters that was before the Council.
The sheriff’s deputy guarding the entrance gave me the news as I was preparing to go through the magnetometer.
A citizen speaking with a Ron Paul supporter holding a Paul sign standing outside of the “A” building confirmed that the Lake County Council refused to vote for or against the new income tax proposal.
This just in from the Northwest Indiana Times:
Tax protesters erupted in cheers Friday afternoon when the proposed 1 percent county income tax died when the County Council refused even to take the vote needed to override a veto of the tax passed last week by the Lake County Council.
However, the Lake County Council’s attorney warned that the tax issue might come back like a bad horror sequel sometime next year.

Sorry I missed you, dude. You missed a rolicking good time outside the chamber.
Szarmack is an asshole. He practically runs the council. I’m going to think of some way to get that guy fired.
You suck, by the way. How did you beat me to posting?
Hi Buzz,
I wish I hadn’t been late. I even brought my son so that he could see democracy in action.
As soon as I found out that there wasn’t going to be any action, I ran back home and jumped on the computer right away. I have an advantage because I didn’t have to go too far to get back home!
