Candidate: David Nicholson
Running for: Indiana State Senator District 34
Party: Democratic
Issues:
Property Tax - The Property Tax package that was passed during this years legislative session is a temporary reprieve and not a resolution to the Property Tax dilemma. Just like the Property Tax Freeze that was established years ago and the County Optional Income Taxes, the capping of Property Tax as a percentage of the assessed valuation of the property is fundamentally flawed because the assessed valuation is a subjective value that can be manipulated.
Constitutional Rights - A Legislator should be diligent in insuring that laws that are passed do not infringe upon the Constitution Rights of Indiana's citizens, and every effort needs to be made to correct any existing laws that infringe upon our Constitutional Rights.
