Last fall we reported a situation where a woman claimed a local businessman and his employee were guilty of voyeurism. She took it to the next level of Facebook. Her claims were shared over a hundred times and spread to numerous counties. Even a local “minister” joined her on Facebook saying she should get these guys banned from doing business in Seymour.
SCA thinks she may have messed with the wrong guys. Below is a court judgement against her.

Here is an interesting bit of information regarding Grade Point Average in American Colleges and Universities.

And if interested, go to the site listed in the last paragraph where it says, Grade Inflation Database. That is a long read but very interesting historical study of GPA scores over the last 65 years.

Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs guy has done more for getting career oriented classes back in schools than anyone in the country. It looks like more training in the electrical fields would be a good thing.

Seymour City Council Meeting
5-26-26

Last night the Seymour City Council met in the council chamber. The agenda included a public hearing, two proposed ordinances and one resolution.

The public hearing was in reference to the closing of a portion of ally between Pine and Poplar Streets. The ally in question runs from U.S. 50 or Tipton Street, north about 150 feet. Schneck Hospital wants to create a continuous parking lot on either side of that section of ally.
There were a couple questions about how people driving in that ally would turn around if it were barricaded off from traffic. The proposal had been passed by the plan commission.

Then the first of two ordinances were discussed. First was a proposed change in zoning at 5819 Schleter Road from residential to commercial. The owners want to build an insurance building on the site. After some discussion regarding flood plains and parking, the ordinance was passed 5-0.

The second proposal was to vacate the ally discussed in the public hearing above. It was passed 5-0.

The third item discussed was a resolution to transfer $16,000 to the Public Transit account for the repair of a city buss. It was reported the buss engine had failed and needed repaired. Questions were asked about finding another buss in place of the existing bus while other questions were about the warranty on the engine. The resolution was passed 5-0.

Property taxes went up.

No doubt people are not happy with a system the state placed upon us 20 or so years ago. But what has had a huge affect upon property taxes has been the immigration numbers in the past 6 years. The demand for housing has gone up greatly when 10,000 or more new people are facilitated into a county our size. Estimates are that the population of Seymour alone was increased by nearly 50 percent between 2019 and 2025. The county has been affected by this too.
When demand goes up, prices rise. Then there was the so called pandemic with its draconian mandates along with massive government printing of dollars. Inflation took off like we had not seen since the late 1970’s . The cost to build a home did skyrocket.

The property tax system “passed down upon us” has shown to be unfair in this new world! PERIOD!

People like our county assessor are just going through the motions of what is the tax law. It is not their fault. You do have the right to question how your tax is figured if you care enough. There is a deadline to appeal your property tax assessment and that is coming quickly. Mid-June we believe.

(Side Car 1: We were mandated to stay put, wear masks, go to limited number of stores for food or booz but don’t go to work. Yet millions from all over the world were allowed to carry anything across our borders without wearing a mask, then transported in confined busses to be dumped off in all parts of our nation. See what has been done to us? And you had no freedom of choice in it. )
