LC Regents and Trustees Set Tax Talk
LC regents invite school trustees for a joint 7 30 p m meeting in the School Administration Building board room to discuss the contract by which the tax office assesses and collects taxes for the college. Regents will send two members and two administrators while the school district will be represented by its board and top administrators. The contract has not been reviewed since the college split from the district and the college still pays 24 percent of its tax levy as a fee. Some colleges pay as low as 2 percent in similar contracts. Taxpayers in both districts face the same costs regardless of the college's rate.
