Legislative bills under consideration

Blogmeister Note: Our apologies as Rep. Froerer's office sent this information to us late last week. While it may look like a simple post, it took some time to download, then upload the attached files so you are able to download. Confused? Some of the Draft Bill files are large, so allow some time for the page to open when you click on the link.

Dear Ogden Valley Residents,


I would like to personally thank all those concerned citizens that attended the recent working group meeting on property taxes at the Huntsville Library. Their involvement will be a benefit to the entire State as we analyze correcting our current property tax system.

A special Thanks to Mr. John Primbs, the moderator and coordinator of the meeting. He did a great job of keeping us all on track and focused on the main issue of good public tax policy.

I am attaching with this letter several bills that are now under consideration on the property tax debate. I would appreciate your comments on these together with any ideas that are not present in these bills. I will be forwarding additional bills to this blog as they become available. The drafting process for bills is fairly lengthy and all bills are also available on the state legislature home page when they are ready. http://www.le.state.ut.us/

Thanks again for your help and support on this important issue and please feel free to call or email me with suggestions or ideas.
