Assessor seeks 45 million boost for Kanawha school aid
Kanawha County Assessor John M. Slack Jr notes the county must raise about 45 million in state aid for schools, saying assessments should total 391 million while the current 346 million valuation reflects a 35.35 percent true value, not 35.85 percent. He questions the tax commissioner's method and cites a 1956 29 million rise in assessed value as not translating to higher realized values.
