Barrett Law Declared Unconstitutional In Indiana
Judge Baker of the Federal Court ruled the Barrett law unconstitutional in Indianapolis, striking down the method of assessing street improvement costs against abutting property without proven benefit. The decision, tied to James Charles vs Marion and Warren-Scharf Asphalt Paving Co, aligns with a recent U S Supreme Court Ohio case holding frontage-based assessments invalid and requiring benefit-based valuation.
