	Mike Braun on Tax Reform

Relief on property tax bills

Property tax reform: Braun has proposed a rough outline for how to give Hoosier homeowners relief on their property tax bills: By expanding tax deductions and limiting the growth in the amount local governments can tax from year to year. The General Assembly has been studying Indiana's tax code for nearly two years and likely plans to propose reforms during the next legislative session.

Reducing the size of government is the key to cutting taxes

Mike Braun knows lower taxes mean more money in the hands of individuals and business owners who are going to know how to spend their dollars better than the government. Reducing the size of government is the key to cutting taxes and Mike Braun will work through every state agency to find ways to save money while delivering high-quality services to taxpayers.

Pledged never to raise federal taxes, but infrastructure ok

[Senate opponent Rep. Todd] Rokita hammered away at Braun for his support of a plan that raised fuel taxes and fees to pay for road and infrastructure improvements. The irony was that Rokita, in 2015, spoke favorably of gas taxes to pay for improvements.

Braun defends the vote as necessary to fix crumbling roads and that Indiana has long lived within its means, maintaining a balanced budget. Braun has pledged never to raise federal taxes because overspending has become standard practice.
