Tax meeting sparks questions on press access and secrecy
Baytown officials disputed reports of a clandestine gathering between council members and the tax equalization board. City officials said the meeting was an information briefing for residents affected by Carla and Hurriane assessments, with no pressure or favoritism involved. The trepidation stemmed from notices of increased valuations and calls to city offices, as the tax assessor explained the basis for the changes and offered future cooperation with residents ahead of board hearings.
