Opening: concerns about other counties' levy levels

0:00 → 0:38(39s)

Board members expressed frustration that some counties can levy higher property-tax rates than Kossuth County; speakers raised the effect of new legislation that may grandfather existing levies and said the original intent of earlier $7.18 levy rules was to bring high counties down to $3.50 but that outcome did not occur. Key point: claim that neighboring counties remain "grandfathered" and continue higher levies.
