Niblack Blocks Indiana Sales Tax Strike on July 1
Judge John Niblack ruled Indiana’s two percent sales tax unconstitutional delaying $94 million in revenue. The decision halts July 1 implementation, triggers potential delays in funding for schools and state programs, and prompts possible appeals or injunctions as officials seek to avoid fiscal crisis. The ruling cites legislative overreach by the executive branch and a rushed 1980 session. Governor Welsh and Atty. Gen. Steers planned discussions amid uncertainty about the state budget for the new fiscal year.
