Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following statement:

"I've had the privilege to travel to every corner of the state, and our neighbors, family members and friends are all calling for property tax relief. Me too. 

They cannot be ignored, especially not by those of us elected to serve them right here in the Statehouse. One of our duties at the attorney generals office is to work with legislators on their legislative priorities to ensure for instance that any resulting language is compliant with our constitution.

So, as the Organization Day in November and the upcoming session in January quickly approach, my office is looking forward to working with any lawmaker who is attempting to craft legislation to lower property taxes and the overall tax burden on Hoosiers.

It's critical to get this tax relief right, and we are ready to work with legislators to get it right now."
