Special Session on Schoo-no, Tax Reform Commences Today...Miles to go, before they sleep...

The end of another Holiday weekend, and it's back to work. Business as usual for the State Legislature today that will begin it's special session on school- um, I mean property tax reform. Somewhere between then and now, the issue has taken a turn towards concentrating on a revamp of property taxes, business taxes, and cigarette taxes. Many local Senators were reportedly optimistic about the special session and the tax reform proposal presented under the leadership of former State Comptroller John Sharp. See www.themonitor.com for the details.

It's early, way too early for most of us especially, to be writing about politics. The weekend was good for the most part, but now let us address the issues once more. Good luck to the legislators, and a safe trip to those who have to travel the extra mile to get there.
