And you've ever seen the movie The Sandlot hmm, yeah, 22 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: the baseball movie yeah. The premise of the Sandlot is 23 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: these kids in the sixties play baseball in a sandlot. 24 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: They run out of baseball's One day, the main character 25 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 2: goes home who knows actually nothing about baseball, and steals 26 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: his dad's Babe Ruth autograph baseball, which they go play 27 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: with and they hit it into the yard where the 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: beast dog is, and so they have to come up 29 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: with a way to get the ball back. But in 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,639 Speaker 2: the meantime they got to make sure his dad doesn't 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 2: know the ball's gone. So they buy a baseball and 32 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: one of the kids signs Babe Ruth's name on the baseball, 33 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: and at one point, as he's signing the ball, one 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 2: of the kids goes, I don't know, Benny, that signature 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: looks pretty crappy, and he goes. 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: Look, this is just a bias some time. 37 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: That's what the General Assembly was doing with the property 38 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: tax bill. They are Bennie in the Sandlot. 39 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: Huh, this is just a bias some time forging Babe 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 3: Ruth's autograph before you don't figure out how you're gonna 41 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: get screwed. 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: And one things we told you is gonna happen. Not 43 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: only will the prop already tax cut quotes totally go 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: away in a couple of years because there's nothing in 45 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: this bill that addresses assessments, which is why the bills 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: keep going up. 47 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: Correct, but there's something that stops the bills from going up. 48 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: So within a best case scenario, current current increases, et cetera, 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: your cut will go away within the next three to 50 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: four years. Now, we also told you what was going 51 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: to happen, and it is that these school districts are 52 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 2: going to be sprinting to the referendums turnstiles because they're 53 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: not just going to take getting less money because the 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 2: General Assembly always rolls over and plays dead for the 55 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: public education system. That's happening see Avon C Fort Wayne schools. 56 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: Next year, you're going to see a whole bunch more. 57 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: But the big one mirror mirror on the wall. How 58 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: are we going to get screwed? The most of all, 59 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: it is these local income tax increases that cities which 60 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: previously were not allowed to do them, are going to do. 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: So let's review what did we tell you is going 62 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: to happen. Within the next three to five years. Your 63 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: tax cut will go because of the property tax increases 64 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: that continue you're gonna see a whole bunch of schools 65 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: do referendums, which means you'll have tax increases on top 66 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: of that, and you will pay this local income tax 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: in a whole bunch of places you didn't pay before, 68 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: Which brings me to Casey at nine to twenty six 69 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: in the morning, my least favorite part of every show. 70 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: Another example of us proving how right we were.
