From responding to new legislative requirements, some contained in bills over 800 pages long, to visiting homes and handling aggressive property owners, Judy Sharp has been doing it all for almost four decades.
Property tax reform has been a priority of Governor Mike Braun's administration from Day 1 of this year's General Assembly session. Senate Bill 1 limits the property tax revenue Indiana counties receive by providing relief on property tax assessments. And while homeowners and businesses will see some relief, local governments are preparing for potential staff and service cuts due to the loss of revenue from the state. Monroe County alone is projected to earn about $37 million less in revenue over the next three years, according to the state's latest fiscal analysis. Read more: County says it cannot do more with less City and county officials said the bill puts the onus on local municipalities to make up the deficit. “Because the state legislators who supported SB1 were too cowardly — and yes, I choose that word purposefully — to do their jobs, local governments are going to have to raise local income taxes to make up deficits. We're not going to have a choice,” said Monroe County Commissioner Jody Madeira. The uncertainty with the loss of funding loss is already having an effect. Monroe County Council Member Peter Iversen said the council does not want to make a financial promise that it cannot fulfill in five or 10 months. And that could mean hiring freezes and stagnant salaries. Read more: Salary request discussion leads to tense exchange at county council meeting The property tax bill will also affect the amount of money going to public schools.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Margaret Barondess, a manager in the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) environmental section who is retiring from state government, reflects on her career. More than 50 years ago, Congress adopted the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Barondess, who worked for MDOT for 33 years, explains how the act informs planning for transportation projects in Michigan and department efforts to at once protect our air, waterways, wildlife, and plants and minimize inconvenience to travelers. While critics of NEPA have argued for scaling back the need for environmental impact statements, supporters tout NEPA's role in saving money, time, lives, historical sites, endangered species and public lands while encouraging compromise and cultivating better projects with more public support. Barondess also talks about the challenges and rewards she and her team have experienced in recent years, including the success protecting some threatened species on a segment of I-75 in Monroe County with a corridor conservation action plan.
