Instead of a $225 dollar tax refund check, Indiana lawmakers are suggesting a six month break on utility taxes.

Republicans in the Indiana Senate introduced that plan yesterday.

Senator Travis Holdman says dropping the state’s seven percent tax on utilities, phones, and the internet may be the better way to give people some relief from rising inflation.

Indiana’s governor this week said he still wants to see taxpayers get 225 dollar checks, and told lawmakers they need to hurry-up and make it happen.

How about instead of a flat refund, we get a portion of the taxes we actually paid back? Why should the people who paid a lot get the same refund as someone who only paid $25 for the year?

Please send the CHECKS, PLURAL! Or one check for the 2 amounts. The first check has never arrived for us. The money will help us to pay our bills. No frivolous spending to increase inflation as has been mentioned. I don’t think many people are able to do that. The checks will help us so much!
Thank you.
