A better title McKinney would have been: "Cities seeking to in- crease local income tax”. Mr. Swift’s premise that Hamilton County government could easily absorb the costs of the 911 Communications system by itself is simply nonsensical. The Commissioners wrested control of the 911 department from the Sheriff approximately eight years ago, which was a first in the 30-year history of 911. They proceeded to create a new entity to fund the 911 Communications Center that would be controlled by the cities, funded by contracts with the cities and the county plus the excise taxes from cellphones and landlines, and managed by the commissioners. As a result, the northern communities have been subsi- dized by both the cities and the county. The State of Indiana also changed the funding flow so it would receive all the excise taxes from cell phones and Photo provided by City of Noblesville landlines, then distributes them back to Noblesville mayoral candidate Chris Jensen, Deputy Mayor Steve Cooke, Economic Development Specialist individual counties under a formula de- Aaron Head and Noblesville Chamber of Commerce President Bob DuBois joined Congresswoman Susan W. vised by them: It is not a “contribution” Brooks (Ind.-05) for a tour of Downtown Noblesville on Thursday.

  • Indiana State Senate
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).
