And you think the Republicans and Democrats are struggling to find common ground on the state budget. Wait till the GOP speaker opens another can of worms to revisit three issues that once dominated the legislative agenda for decades and were finally resolved by the voters way back when.
“That’s going to be the next issues that will dominate this town. How do we do property taxes and the potential of putting that on the next ballot if we can’t do it legislatively,” reveals Speaker Matt Hall. For the first time in front of a somewhat surprised bunch of capitol correspondents on Off the Record he put into motion one of the toughest assignments any legislature has tackled. In addition to that, which will be tough enough, he adds he wants to take a whack at “Proposal A and Headlee and try to kind of modify those so that we can make property taxes more affordable.”
Ya (sp) wanna (sp) know how difficult this will be?
