Tax Commission Meeting In Aiken Described As Tame
Tuesday’s session between the Tax Commission and the County Board of Assessors drew little fire and more courtesy. Lyon spoke on moving all property to a 42 percent assessment base, noting railroads complain of alleged real property discrimination. Citizens urged careful reassessment alignment, then the commission received thanks and the crowd left satisfied.
