• Fishers 2027 budget revenue outlook strong, consultant says (larryinfishers.com) — Fishers officials just heard that city revenues look strong heading into the 2027 budget, thanks largely to rising local income tax collections, though new state tax deductions are squeezing property-tax growth. A consultant warned that choices about using annexation-related levy capacity could affect future tax rates, and that looming state changes to local income tax rules after 2027 add uncertainty. Department budget requests start Sept. 2.
• Consultant to Hamilton County nonprofits: Individual donors, not grants, pay the bills (larryinfishers.com) — Nonprofit leaders from the Fishers area gathered in downtown Fishers to hear consultant Michelle Leonard McConnell argue that individual donors, not grants, should anchor their fundraising.
