What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Baker Tilly provided advisory services to the Porter County Municipal Unit Strategic Taskforce regarding local income tax scenarios. The taskforce is working to establish a local income tax approach that funds fire, EMS, libraries, and townships while replacing losses from property tax credits granted by Senate Enrolled Act 1. The group must submit a non-binding report to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance by November 2.
