Lake County rejected a 2% pay raise and froze hiring due to a $5M revenue drop from Indiana’s new tax law.
The Lake County Council voted 3-2 to reject a 2% pay raise for non-contract county employees, citing a $5 million revenue drop from Indiana’s new property tax law, Senate Enrolled Act 1, which reduces business taxes.
The council also approved eliminating all vacant positions since January and set aside $1 million in reserves, effectively enacting a hiring freeze.
Despite a $256 million balanced budget, officials warned of a projected $30 million shortfall by 2028 due to state-level funding losses.
The decisions reflect efforts to maintain fiscal responsibility amid declining revenues and rising costs.
