Policy approaches to addressing the impact of rising valuations on property taxes will be the focus of a Thursday, Aug. 26 OpenSky webinar featuring Dr. David Merriman, a state and local public finance expert from the University of Illinois-Chicago.
Rising residential property valuations have been in the news in recent months — including in this June story in the Omaha World-Herald and this more recent story in the Lincoln Journal. During the webinar, which will start at 1 p.m., Dr. Merriman will discuss effective solutions for policymakers to consider to help address the issue.
