Representatives such as Ken Morgan, dressed in Colonial attire, complete with post lantern as a town crier, from Indiana Voters League spoke of the immorality of a broken system that may have worked in Colonial times when the largest city was 18,000 people, but has become layered with grotesque applications that cry for repeal in today’s world.

Fearing property tax repeal will be given scant notice and lay dormant in the Senate Rules Committee under bill SJR0008, headed by David Long, Indiana Property Tax Repeal Alliance Activists joined with Hoosiers For Fair Taxation to bring awareness to this practice of tokenism and sought symbolically to shed light through candles and placards, some of which referred to the Senate ‘Fools Committee’, or “Caught Red-Handed”.

The people are demanding a vote from their legislators in open daylight.
