Cobra Con returns to the Horizon Convention Center
Cobra Con returns to the Horizon Convention Center and the Delaware County Fairgrounds this week. Professionals and enthusiasts gather for hands-on sessions, and stunning fireworks with demonstrations at the Muncie fairgrounds on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and on Friday and Saturday from 7 to 10:30 p.m. The event is private, but the public is welcome to watch from outside the fairgrounds.
The amendment announced Friday by Indiana House Republicans to the Property Tax Bill doesn’t exactly provide the kind of relief that Gov. Braun was hoping for. But, according to House Speaker Todd Huston, it will provide 9 in 10 Hoosiers with some relief. The amendment will provide a 7.5 percent tax credit on Homestead property taxes up to $200. The House Ways and Means Committee is the first stop for the amendment and that committee will hear it and vote on it Monday morning at 10:30. If it passes it goes back to the Senate. Whether Gov. Braun will sign it is unclear. He wanted to see rates return to pre-2021 levels.
The Nationwide, organized effort of protests called “Hands Off,” included a small, but visible contingent in Muncie Saturday. As we reported first on WoofBoomNews.com during the event, those with, and without signs were seen standing, waving, and mostly smiling along the roads at the intersection of McGalliard and Wheeling Ave.
