HEA 1017 "MUST" income-tax proposal

House Enrolled Act 1017 lets a county, its cities, and its townships agree to split one shared local income tax (the "Municipal Unit Service Tax," or MUST) instead of each layering on separate new income taxes starting in 2028. Terre Haute is pursuing this option to avoid residents being taxed twice for the same services. A non-binding local report recommending the split is due to the state; the mayor plans to ask council to appoint two members to help write it.
