Tax questions and views on property taxes in Muscatine
Letter from John Graham County Assessor Illinois City discussing tax policy in Muscatine county. He argues against simply raising valuations and lowering mill levies, urges state aid reform based on per pupil funding, warns about effects on business and industry, and defends local government efficiency while supporting alternative revenue ideas such as sales and liquor by the drink. He notes forty two school districts and varying levy rates, and emphasizes local control.
