Indiana Gas Tax Increase

[Jamie-K]

Gosh, if only there were something that could be done about this. I mean, why wouldn't a government concerned for the wellbeing of the citizens not offer some sort of tax relief with the highest gas prices and inflation we've seen in decades? Surely our elected REPRESENTATIVES will lend a hand in these trying times???

Our "elected Officials" will only do something about these high taxes IF we hold their feet to the fire !!!!
we need to show up to their rallies and bring up facts for everyone to hear !

Can always count on our Governor to do the opposite.
Other states are suspending the gas tax, and IN seizes the opportunity to raise it.
It seems that having the pleasure of being a Hoosier, comes with the discomfort
of boot laces dangling from your poop shoot.

Damn, it is amazing how hard he works trying not to get re-elected!

Jeez!

Indiana Gas Taxes on Brink of State Record | Transport Topics

Indiana motorists will be paying a total of 74.5 cents in taxes for each gallon of gasoline they purchase in May — the highest amount in Indiana history.

At a time with all-time high gas prices they are taking advantage of us. They think that we will just blame the other factors behind rising prices. This is the time they should be cutting or suspending gas tax to help Hoosiers.

I wish I had saved my receipt for the propane fill up from just 3 or 4 days ago. It was $8 and some change. Today it was $17.44. I'm guessing they rang it up wrong when it was $8 something.

Well how much is diesel? I'm sure those tanker trucks don't get very good mileage. They're feeling the pain too man!

Just kidding @Bigtanker ! Don't ban me bro!

I think that's about the same as down here.

It’s about that here today. A couple of stations are still <$5 but probably not for long.

 

[Ziggidy]

Why am I not surprised. Taxation at its worst.

BUT BUT BUT......they have to pay for the $125 everyone gets!

Good lord, gas went from $3.91 to $4.19 over night in my AO. With $0.75 a gallon tax how can our states roads still be so awful?!??

PLEASE NOTE! The deduction for age is only available if your house is valued below a certain amount which I don't remember. I called about that when I got my tax bill and noticed that I wasn't getting the age deduction. I was told that was because my property assessed value was above the maximum allowed.

Just another brick in the wall of taxes.

Your home has to be assessed for less than $200,000 to qualify. It is also income based, your adjusted gross income must be less than $30,000 if single or $40,000 if married.

This is from Allen County but the deduction is statewide. Maximum benefit is a reduction of $14,000 in you assessed value. Not many will qualify but if you do it's a decent benefit.

All of my taxes went up considerably this year, including federal income, state income and property. I wouldn't care nearly as much if my income went up that much and politicians would spend it wisely.

politicians would spend it wisely.

 

[Ark]

Shot up 20 cents overnight to $4.19. Not even Memorial Day yet.

Diesel is almost $5.50. Insanity. This kills the economy.

 

[KLB]

And interest rates are going up now. Good times are a coming

 

[Cavman]

Good thing our Republicans in power dropped our gas tax.. oh wait..

They are planning on a new interstate running from Huntingburg to I-69.

I'd be happy if they just finished I-69. They were planning the southern portion back in the 1970s. This latest section has been going on 15 years now under construction, and has at least another 4 or 5 to go (if we're lucky). There is no rational reason why it should take so long.
