From the Northwest Indiana Times:
Clerk-Treasurer Eugene Guernsey, Town Councilwoman Carol Miano and Councilman Don Spann will have a 5 p.m. meeting Tuesday to discuss a proposed property tax referendum.
The meeting will be at Town Hall, 7820 Broadway.
The referendum would ask Merrillville voters if they would raise their property taxes to support hiring 10 more police officers.
For an owner of a home assessed at $150,000, property taxes would increase by about $53 a year if the increase is approved, according to town officials.
The referendum could be on the ballot in November.
