The Indiana General Assembly is tackling the issue of possible changes in the property tax system, and Governor Mike Braun has submitted his proposals on capping how much homeowners must pay.  However, local government entities have pushed back, saying the governor’s plan would impact their funding sources dramatically.

In a statement to reporter Fradette, HSE Schools spokesperson Emily Abbotts said the district is working with lawmakers as the tax measures make their way through the legislative process.
