INDIANAPOLIS -- Anger continued to boil at a protest, called "Black Sunday," involving Marion County homeowners who are livid about the huge increase in property taxes.

Hundreds of vocal protesters, wearing black clothing or carrying black umbrellas, crowded Monument Circle downtown to vent their frustration again in the third large, organized protest since property tax bills arrived in the mail.

At the rally, which lasted four hours, protesters said they won't quiet down until politicians listen up, 6News' Tanya Spencer reported.

In Marion County, residential property taxes jumped significantly more than the projected 24 percent increase.

"I think what it comes down to is accountability. We have none," said one protester. "(We have) zero accountability in government."

"I think the number of people standing out here today demonstrates in spades that our Legislature has done plenty of harm to all of us," said another protester.

Jenny Elkins said her property tax went up 850 percent. She was paying about $600 a year. Now, she owes $5,800, Spencer reported.

"We took a chance three years ago to move to an urban setting, and never in a million years did we think we'd have this to face," Elkins said.

Some protesters used the sounding board to promote eliminating property tax entirely and replacing it with a sales tax of 11 or 12 percent that everyone would pay.

"I'd like sales tax. I think there are a lot of people who aren't paying any taxes on property, places where there are multiple families living in homes, and it's landing on the shoulders of the rest of us," said Laura Hile, who lives in Washington Township.

Speakers at the protest urged taxpayers to continue to wear black on Sundays until there is change.
