Indiana homeowners demand tax relief at Statehouse rally

Hundreds of property owners rallied at the Indiana Statehouse on March 17, 2025, demanding tax relief after significant increases. The event featured conservative radio hosts urging support for Governor Mike Braun's tax cut plan, which has faced criticism for its impact on school funding. Speakers called out lawmakers by name, threatening primary challenges for those who do not support tax cuts. Braun's proposal aims to save homeowners $1.3 billion but would cut school budgets by $536 million, raising concerns about local services. Three different property tax plans have been introduced, each balancing homeowner relief with local government needs. Republican leaders aim to ensure property taxes are lower in 2026 than in 2025, while Democrats emphasize the importance of funding for essential services.
