Ed Soliday, R-Valparaiso, said the original bill will help people across the state, he only listed one concrete example of rates being increased after an appeal: property in Porter County owned by Chuck Williams, the state treasurer of the Republican party. Had similar language already been enacted, Williams property rate would have been frozen, saving him money.
