Utah State Legislative session kicked off today!

The news of the tax revolt has taken a bit of a back seat lately, but it is time to heat it up again as the Utah Legislature celebrated Martin Luther King day this morning by opening their general session.

We will attempt to keep you updated every few days during the session with Property tax related articles. Also, be sure to check Machman's "Utah Wingmen For Property Tax Re-forum for regular updates.

From today's Deseret News, we read about Senator Neiderhauser's proposal that "takes aim at Property-Tax Hikes.

We also read of another bill requiring county's to acquire expensive Appraisal software. We say overhaul the system, and stop with the band-aids.

Also from the News of Deseret, "Transparency bill aims to shed light on government."

The legislative session runs until early March and we must insist on substantial change to our present taxing system. Be sure to write you lawmakers, attend the legislative sessions and be ready to march on capital hill. While we hate cliche's, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
