Democrats flipped 16 Indiana House seats in last week’s election, and now the 46-seat Democratic minority elected leaders have priorities for the new year. “My responsibility to the taxpayers is not only to listen to them, but to make life easier and more affordable for them,” said Rep. Cherrish Pryor, D-Indianapolis, who was reelected minority floor leader. Democratic leadership wants to reform property taxes and eliminate the sales tax on utility bills for private individuals, among other affordability issues. “Data centers don’t pay sales tax on utility bills while regular taxpayers are having to pay that sales tax,” Pryor told The Center Square. “The legislature has given tax breaks to businesses, but we have not helped homeowners, renters, and local governments – that includes schools.” “I don’t believe many residents saw a significant enough break that they felt we did anything for their property taxes,” Rep. Phil GiaQuinta, D-Ft. Wayne, who was reelected minority leader, told The Center Square. The coming year will require legislature to pass a budget, which happens every other year. “Property taxes are
