(STATEHOUSE) - The Senate has voted to cut property taxes while allowing new local income taxes to make up for it.

Noblesville Republican Luke Kenley's bill is the first property-tax relief bill to pass either chamber this year. The House had rejected a previous attempt.

Kenley says it's also the best prospect in years for a long-term fix. The bill allows local income taxes of up to one-percent to replace property-tax dollars. If every county did it, Kenley estimates that would cut property taxes 22%.
