Assessor Corrects Nebraska Property Valuation Powers
Cheyenne County Assessor Ed Swanson argues state boards can adjust real estate valuations despite voters rejecting a state real property levy. He cites statutes granting the State Board of Equalization authority to raise or lower class valuations and warns taxpayers to study Nebraska laws. He also criticizes state income tax passage and local courthouse funding, urging voters to consider tax policy and revenue methods. Leon A Lafler and note about sales books at The Sidney Telegraph accompany the letter.
