House and Senate Republicans Join to Emphasize their Support for Permanent Property Tax Reform

Summary: House and Senate Republicans joined yesterday to emphasize their support for permanent property tax reform, contained within House Bill 1001 and Senate Joint Resolution 1. Rep. Jeff Espich discusses the agreement, announced at a joint gathering of the two General Assembly Republican caucuses. The plan gives taxpayers statewide an immediate 30-percent cut in their homestead property taxes, and it phases in circuit-breakers over the next two years. It also endorses the permanent constitutional caps called for in Senate Joint Resolution 1.
