flag Lake County rejected a 2% pay raise and froze hiring due to a $5M revenue drop from Indiana’s new tax law.

flag 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. flag The council also approved eliminating all vacant positions since January and set aside $1 million in reserves, effectively enacting a hiring freeze. flag Despite a $256 million balanced budget, officials warned of a projected $30 million shortfall by 2028 due to state-level funding losses. flag The decisions reflect efforts to maintain fiscal responsibility amid declining revenues and rising costs.
