Indiana Tax Court
Alice Luebke, Tina Hughes, Amanda Scheitlin, and Ann Cornewel v. Indiana Department of Local Government Finance, et. al.
24T-TA-7
Tax. Affirms the Indiana Tax Court’s subject matter jurisdiction and recognizes the existence of a substantial issue to be tried where a group of Allen County taxpayers are challenging the county’s plan to build a new jail. Denies a motion pursuant to the Public Lawsuit Statute, requesting that the taxpayers post a bond of more than $90 million to proceed with their appeal.

Finally, finds the taxpayers need not post a bond in the amount of $91,628,223 to proceed with this action.
