Tax shifts and protests over county assessment figures
The article discusses tax assessments likely rising across counties, with Albany County reporting large mortgage values and other counties showing 200 to 300 percent increases. It argues the tax levy may still be only half of last year if valuations double, and calls for proper enforcement of the new law to avoid unfair results. It also notes Evanston politics, a mayoral change, and mentions Wyoming stockman issues and fencing of government land.
