“Hi, I’m Richard Essex of WISH-TV. We are trying to make an appointment to see the commissioner, Fred Payne,” News 8’s Richard Essex said. “Is this the office?”
Upon News 8’s arrival at the office, a security guard hired by the state said she wasn’t sure where Payne’s office was located.
“Well, you can go down there to the other office and get a hold of him,” she said.
The security guard escorted News 8 to another office that she called the intake office. Once inside that office, News 8 made the same request; a woman lady behind the desk at the intake office said she was new to the job and wasn’t sure who we needed to speak with.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Property taxes for thousands of Marion County residents have skyrocketed. In some cases, taxes have tripled.
The increase in property taxes is concentrated in and around the Fountain Square area. That area has experienced a lot of redevelopment over the past couple years, leading to higher home sale prices and now higher taxes.
And right in the middle of all the redevelopment sits Esperanza Alonzo’s house. She is a lawyer and moved to the Fountain Square area 10 years ago. Her most recent property tax bill caught her by surprise.
“I used to pay about less than $1,000 a year and now I’m paying more, almost $3,000 for one of the properties,” said Alonzo.
