Chair Lee notes council members present and begins property tax reform questions
Linda Lee notes the arrival of Deputy Speaker Williams, Majority Whip Hanks, and Councilmembers Brewer, Maloney, Wong, and Narcisse. She then opens questioning on property tax reform, noting promises by successive mayors have gone unfulfilled.
Great.
I forgot to mention, we've been joined by Deputy Speaker Williams, Majority Whip Hanks, Councilmember Brewer, Councilmember Maloney, and Councilmember Wong.
And sorry, I was getting a little teary-eyed hearing you testify.
I'm sorry, because I'm very proud of you.
I just want to say that again, so I'm getting a little emotional.
Sorry about that.
But yes, very proud of you.
Okay, property tax reform.
With that, we'll get into questions.
Oh boy, okay.
So property tax reform, and this is something we've all talked about before, has been promised by mayor after mayor, but nothing has happened.
And fundamentally, everyone believes that it needs to be reformed.
And this obviously lies with your agency, and you have a lot of the key data and expertise that will be required to develop a workable
solution.
