David Hartman does a nice job framing the problem with appraisal reform efforts this legislative session. One reader comment goes on to state that the people don't have a clue as to how the system works, and we should be holding the taxing entities accountable. I think we all know how the system operates, and now they are fighting hard with our tax dollars to prevent changes to the system.
