Evansville and Vanderburgh discuss consolidation

Submitted by WFIE Web Staff on Thursday, August 4th, 10:13 pm

There was also a study on how the merger will impact taxpayers. One study showed a savings of three to seven percent while another showed an increase in tax rates.

Critics say the studies have too many assumptions in them.
