Indiana Supreme Court voids 1961 bonding law 4-1
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled a 1961 law unconstitutional by a 4 to 1 vote. It would have tripled local government bonding power by allowing bonds up to two percent of the true cash value, later tripling indebtedness to three times the current $475 million. The court said indebtedness must be based on assessed value and urged constitutional amendments for any increase. The decision disappoints the Indiana Municipal League and prompts calls for study by local governments.
