PROPERTY VALUATION TOWN HALL MEETINGS.

Our Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom group will host the first in a series of Property Valuation Town Hall meetings on Wed. Sept. 16, from 6-8 PM at Millard Library, 132nd & Westwood Lane in Omaha. First, we will view a short Power Point presentation showing how our current valuation system is causing rural and urban property taxes to skyrocket. Then, State Sen. Pete Pirsch will discuss his LR 241, which would urge the Legislature to study a reform of our valuation system. Next, we will distribute our own issue paper on property valuation reform. During the remainder of the meeting, those attending can each speak for up to 3 min. about their ideas and suggestions for property valuation reform. We will transcribe all these comments and forward them to the Legislative Council at the Unicameral, so that state senators can use these suggestions to help them formulate remedial legislation in 2010. We invite all concerned taxpayers to attend with friends and neighbors.
