Where Is Our Tax Money Going?

🚨 Indiana communities are about to face some very difficult financial decisions — and we need to be paying attention.In this episode of Project Next, Sarah Blessing and James Coogle break down what Senate Enrolled Act 1 means for Harrison County and why our county councils and commissioners need to understand what is coming.With less property-tax revenue available than previously projected, local governments, schools, libraries, fire protection and other community services will be competing for increasingly limited dollars.That means now is not the time for careless spending.We talk about Harrison County’s numbers, multimillion-dollar building purchases, and a question taxpayers should always be able to ask:Do we actually need this — and can we afford it?If millions of taxpayer dollars are going toward a building, the public deserves to see the need, the true cost, the alternatives considered, and the long-term impact on our community.SEA 1 is changing the financial reality for local government. Our local leaders need to understand it, plan for it, and start being extremely careful with our money.🎥 Watch this episode of Project Next. This is one local-government conversation every Hoosier should understand. This is a public episode.
