Hendricks County has a Local Income Tax problem and the council has no public plan for it. Three letters that affect every paycheck. #HendricksCounty

Every organization, public or private, benefits from forward-looking financial projections. Clear multi-year plans improve decision-making, reduce risk, and give taxpayers greater confidence in how resources are managed. #HendricksCounty #Accountability

Sound budgeting means knowing the difference between money you can count on and money that might not be there next year. That distinction matters when you are planning roads, emergency services, and infrastructure for an entire county. #HendricksCounty

This is what recent growth looks like in Plainfield. Is your county government ready for it?
#HendricksCounty #Plainfield #SmartGrowth

A $45 million potential drop in Local Income Tax revenue is on the horizon. Meanwhile the county has been leaning on temporary funds to cover ongoing costs. That is not a gap you can patch with another windfall. #HendricksCounty #LIT #Accountability

Residents asked the county to post budget documents online before votes. That request was made in August 2025. We are still waiting. Transparency starts with showing your work before decisions are made, not after. #HendricksCounty #Accountability

Stable local government depends on realistic assumptions, honest projections, and consistent accountability. Long-term thinking supports stronger communities, better services, and healthier public finances. #HendricksCounty

Fiscal discipline is not about reducing services. It is about protecting them. Careful planning ensures that necessary investments today do not create avoidable problems tomorrow. #HendricksCounty #Accountability

Deferred planning often leads to abrupt cuts or rushed decisions. Transparent long-term budgeting allows communities to prioritize thoughtfully rather than react under pressure. Predictability strengthens public trust. #HendricksCounty

Interest income and federal funds fluctuate. Core services should not depend on unpredictable dollars. Multi-year financial planning helps protect public safety, infrastructure, and essential operations when conditions change. #HendricksCounty

Temporary revenue can help address immediate needs, but it cannot substitute for long-term financial strategy. Responsible budgeting means distinguishing between one-time funds and recurring resources and planning accordingly. #HendricksCounty #Accountability

The Supreme Court ruled today that no one is above the law, not even when it comes to economic policy. Working families in Hendricks County deserve stable costs for goods and materials. Checks and balances exist for a reason.

Today's Hendricks County Council Rundown:

$116K Highway Superintendent offer made before HR & Council approval, then ratified later. We need hiring processes that are clear, consistent, and transparent for taxpayers. (1/3)

This photo is from yesterday, on my way to Hendricks County for court. Here’s what NOT to say to insurance companies: ever. Do NOT admit fault. Never say “I’m sorry,” “I wasn’t paying attention,” or “It was my fault.”
