Tax Form Favors State Board After Assessor Meeting
The state Association of County Assessors backed by numerous county commissioners met the state board of equalization in the capitol to adopt the standard Edgerton form for taxation, rejecting Edgerton's versions as too detailed and labor intensive. Gov Stewart and other officials attended as Martien presented a near last year's form with slight tax‑law updates. Brown highlighted an assessor's intrusive questioning on household goods, drawing laughter from officials and most attendees opposing Edgerton’s forms.
