Reappraisal Chief Named for Silver Bow County Office
James X. White was appointed as Silver Bow County property reclassification officer by Assessor George McGrath as part of a new tax assessment plan. The project, funded by a two mill levy, aims to complete within a year, mirroring the costly 1960 Haynes reappraisal that sparked protests and delays. White, with state appraisal and local ties, will be joined by a deputy and staff, and the office opens after July 1 following a TV briefing by McGrath and Commissioner Connolly.
