Meigs County Taxpayers League Opens Tax Reduction Drive
Meigs County Taxpayers League officials met with the county board at the Courthouse to outline a plan for tax reform. Spokeswoman Joan B. Downing presented three points: reduce land and building assessments by 20 percent, trim the budget, and ease delinquent tax collection. The group noted a prior 10 percent land assessment cut and urged the commissioners to slash the budget further while reserving details of economies for later. Board members pledged cooperation and scheduled another meeting for Thursday morning.
