Summary
An event months in the making, the Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee finally heard testimony on Senate Bill 1, Governor Braun's plan to reform property taxes. While the testimony was being heard, Governor Braun dominated the media cycle with a "Fireside Chat" on the need to help taxpayers. The testimony in front of lawmakers failed to produce a robust and organized opposition from local government officials. Will Braun's plan now clear committee? Rob, Abdul, and Jim Merritt discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings.
