3/19/26 - Property Taxes, IEDC Spending, Terre Haute Election Chaos & Data Center Debate
from The Rob Kendall Show · host Rob Kendall
On today’s episode of The Rob Kendall Show, Rob breaks down several major issues impacting Indiana, from property taxes to government spending to election drama. Rob starts with a meeting in Brownsburg where local school officials explained why Indiana’s property tax “fix” may not actually lower taxes long term. The discussion highlights how rising home assessments continue to drive property taxes higher even with credits like the $300 rebate. The show also looks at the real winners of Senate Bill 1, with businesses receiving major tax breaks through personal property tax changes while homeowners see little relief. Next, Rob digs into the controversy surrounding the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. After spending $800,000 on an audit that found serious problems, the state is now considering another $1 billion in spending through the same agency. Meanwhile, the connected IEDC Foundation has spent millions on travel, meals, and events for government officials, raising ongoing transparency concerns. Rob's guest today was Kenny Britt, find him on Facebook at Britt's Picks. He covers some possible upsets and cinderella's in the NCAA Tourney starting this week. The show also covers the growing political chaos in the Terre Haute state Senate primary, where a legal challenge over whether a candidate has a past felony conviction has now halted absentee ballots just weeks before the election. Rob then shifts to a major development in Indianapolis with the approval of a 900,000-square-foot data center in Marion County, raising questions about zoning, water usage, and how Indiana should regulate the rapidly expanding data center industry. Producer Jason also makes his daily appearance highlighting the best YouTube chat comments of the day. The show also touches on the possibility of adding a third hour to the program, the latest episode of Statehouse Happenings, and what diesel fuel reaching $5 per gallon in central Indiana could mean for the local economy.
