Walorski, Friend meet with constituents

The Elkhart Truth reports:

Indiana Reps. Jackie Walorski, R-Lakeville, and Bill Friend, R-Macy, joined Sen. Ryan Mishler, R-Bremen, in Nappanee Saturday morning to meet their voters with legislative update issues. All made it clear that they understood the importance of getting the property tax dilemma under control.

"I hope that somehow we can come up with a compromise in all of this," Friend said.

The trio assured the crowd that House Bill 1001, concerning the property taxes in Indiana, was the No. 1 priority at the moment.

"The bill has already passed in the House," Walorski said. "Now the Senate is piecing it apart and taking a look at each part of it as they make amendments and pass it through. March 1 it will face the last step in becoming a reality."
