A Town Hall meeting was held at Buffalo High School Tuesday night for organizers to discuss property and other taxes with the public and answer questions directed at them concerning legislation and other avenues that can be taken to lessen the burden on taxpayers that has skyrocketed in the last few years.
State Representative Barry Crago (HD 40) and Johnson County Commissioner Bill Novotny organized the even and invited Ashley Harpstreith, Executive Director of the Wyoming Taxpayers Association to give a brief presentation on the different taxes assessed in the state and how they are used.
A Question and Answer peiod followed her presentation, with those attending mostly voicing their displeasure at the rise in property taxes and asking for Crago and Novotny to do something to curb the increase.
A few of those that spoke had ideas and shared how they thought that could be accomplished.
One question asked of Representative Crago was why very little got accomplished during the last legislative session to help curb high property taxes.
When asked what he plans to do about property taxes during the nextsession, he said he plans to try to bring people together and work with everyone to get property tax relief and reform done for the benefit of the taxpayers in Wyoming.
After the Q&A period, Representative Crago thanked those who came, listened, and shared.
