Rep. Craig says property-tax reform is top constituent priority as she readies six bills for Senate
Summary
Rep. Meredith Craig said property-tax reform has been the top issue raised by constituents and that she will focus on advancing six priority bills to the Senate, working with colleagues including Rep. David Thomas and her senator (named in the transcript).
State Rep. Meredith Craig said property-tax reform is the most frequent concern she hears from constituents and that it will be a priority as she moves six bills through the legislative process.
"It is without a doubt number one issue I've heard about," Craig said, describing the rising burden of property taxes on households and the urgency constituents express. She credited Rep. David Thomas for subject-matter expertise and said she is coordinating with her senator (identified in the interview as Senator Alandis) to advance measures this session.
Craig said she prefers to introduce bills she intends to finish and that, of 11 bills she introduced, six have already cleared the House and been sent to the Senate. She did not provide details on the specific property-tax proposals or fiscal offsets during the segment.
Craig said her goal is to complete priority items this year so they do not have to restart next session; no committee calendars or vote dates were given on the program.
