Governor Dunne on proposed tax commission overhaul
The article critiques Governor Dunne's plan to abolish the state board of equalization and replace it with a central tax commission with broad powers. It argues the new body would lack court appeals, threaten local assessors, and shift valuations away from farmers, while defending the current board’s local, democratic touch and questioning allegations of unfair corporate tax treatment.
