1) whatever happened to hb 2977? [by Anonymous Citizen on March 15, 2008]
Having listened to the public hearing it is hard to understnd why the legislature would not pass this bill. The Assessors routinely defend their values with little more than the "presumption of correctness" and the "clear, cogent and convincing" standard of proof. Why would they need more than a preponderance of evidence?
