Taxation in Nevada urged by Governor Oddie in special session
Elko Independent notes Governor Oddie's message to a Nevada special session concentrates on state finances and proposes two remedies. A 15 cent per $100 tax increase for the general fund or a 10 cent increase with a new tax commission to readjust assessments. The piece warns that county boards rarely alter assessor valuations, leaving property underassessed by about 30 percent, and questions the need for a tax commission while criticizing prior state spending and office creation.
