Referendum Transparency
Petition the Indiana State legislature to pass a law making it illegal to place a "countywide" referendum on a "municipal only" election ballot.
Why is this important?
There is a referendum on the 2019 November municipal ballot that affects everyone countywide in Huntington County. With it being in a municipal only election, county taxpayers are facing a rate increase in their property taxes without much knowledge of the vote taking place because it is not a "countywide" election. Most people outside of the municipality believe that they don't vote in this election and there's not much education to tell them otherwise. the entire problem can be eliminated by not allowing countywide decisions to be made in "municipal only" elections.
