State Supreme Court weighing Wettick Decision

Last September, Judge Wettick ruled that the County Base Year assessment system was unconstitutional. You can see the PG article on that here.

The State Supreme Court took up the case last week. This decision has wide ranging implications for every school district in the State. If the Court decides to uphold the Wettick decision then it would likely force a reassessment in most, if not all, counties across the State. That forced reassessmet would have implications on the real estate taxes paid to each and every school district since we all rely heavily on local real estate taxes.

The PG article with the update can be found here.

I'll be keeping an eye on this case as it.
