The St. Joe Valley Greens in South Bend, IN endorse the Near Northwest
Neighborhood Association's petition requesting that legislators find
more equitable ways to allocate the costs of city services among all the
county's residents. The current tax assessment system places the burden
of supporting institutions that serve the entire County on the backs of
City residents while allowing those who use the Cities and their
institutions to avoid paying their fair share. South Bend may have the
highest tax rate in Indiana and many individuals and small business
owners have suddenly found their property taxes going up as much as
300%.
