Decreased Property Tax Rates Linked to Fracking!

Marshall County, WV is considering the possibility of decreasing property taxes due to the huge amount of tax income that gas production is providing the county.  The County Assessor has floated the idea with the Board of Education, and while the Board hasn’t said yes, it also hasn’t said no.  The BoE wants to take a more in depth look at the numbers, specifically what the county could do with the excess income, and how a decrease in property valuations would effect low, middle, and upper incomes.
