Dear Editor:
Despite inflation and high taxes, a majority of Carmel voters last week added 21 percent to their property tax rate.
Approved was a school referendum that added 24 cents per $100 of assessed property value to a maximum of 42.74 cents.
The existing property tax rate is 2.0167.
The new rate will be 2.4441; or 21 percent higher.
A generous move for some and an unwelcome surprise for those on fixed income.
Bill Shaffer
