Hackmann faulted for unequal Missouri property valuations
State Auditor Hackmann blamed county assessors for inequalities in Missouri property valuations used for this year's taxes. He said some assessors did not do their duty prompting the Board of Equalization to "do the best it could." The board预计 next year will rely on real values, not prior year figures, and noted census comparisons show the board's farm land figures understate federal totals in most counties.
