The Grant County Tea Party

The Regular Session Grant County Council for June was held at 6 PM June 9, 2010.
Indiana State Auditor Tim Berry gave a very interesting presentation: “Projected Revenue Trends for State and Local Government”. The handout for that presentation is located here: Projected Revenue Trends

The Annual LOIT tax review was also covered. Reducing the LOIT tax was discussed, and members of the public, including several GCTP members gave their opinions. The Marion Chronicle Tribune covered the meeting in the 6/10/2010 edition on the front page.
