EDIT Has Ignited A Tax Debate

The Economic Development Income Tax debate has everybody talking about taxes these days. Our letters column has been inundated with anti-tax sentiment. I would assume the reason there is so much animosity toward this EDIT thing is because people feel they simply are taxed too much. I would agree.We are taxed too much. Problem is, the anger is aimed at the wrong target.Much of the criticism of EDIT has come in the form of people saying that our county has squandered tax dollars. Here's a sample. If our tax money is being so mismanaged now that our officials aren't able to provide basic services, why would we want to give them MORE money to spend (or to correct their past excesses)? But local tax dollars haven't been mismanaged.Far from it.This letter writer should know that the county tax rate is the lowest in the state.That's right.In Kosciusko County we have the lowest county tax rate in Indiana.
