Summary
The debate over what to do with property taxes rages on at the Statehouse, with a hearing in Ways and Means last week which went close to 9 hours. At the end, there still appeared to be no consensus on how to address the issue of skyrocketing property tax bills. Enter Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith and WIBC's Kendall and Casey Show, which are planning a property tax rally at the Statehouse on St. Patrick's Day. Will a massive showing from upset taxpayers be enough to move the General Assembly? Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss on Statehouse Happenings.
