Michigan's Thumb
A
plan to prevent big box stores from paying less in property taxes may
be gaining steam in the Legislature after the House approved the
measure, which supporters say will lead to fairer tax evaluations.
Supporters say the measure is supposed to ensure property taxes are
assessed more equitably for large retail stores like Lowe's or Target.
It passed the House by a wide margin despite opposition from big
business interests such as the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the
Michigan Retailers Association.

An
epic oilfield slowdown has done more than trigger layoffs and budget
cuts in petroleum-dependent communities. It’s also eating into the
“mailbox money” of royalty owners — monthly checks to account for oil
and gas production on their property.
If there’s any silver lining for those folks in these cloudy times, it’s
this: Their property tax bills should also plummet. After all, lower
oil prices make for less-valuable minerals.

Jersey
City, whose three-decade boom in condominium and office towers dubbed
it New Jersey’s Wall Street West, is chafing under demands to spread its
tax burden more equally.
The newest property owners in the Hudson River waterfront community are
either exempt from taxes or paying an amount based on a formula set 28
years ago. A state-ordered revaluation is touching nerves even before
the numbers are re-jiggered. While residents in hardscrabble
neighborhoods say it will shift the burden to the pricey downtown, the
city’s mayor warns that it could raise supporters’ bills as values
increase, uprooting long-timers.

It’s
property tax season — and for people who are deeply curious about
comparing assessments, a real estate group has a series of interactive
maps for you.

decreased across the city last year.

Rising
100 feet tall, burning truck-load after truck-load of wood waste, and,
in cold weather, belching plumes of white steam high into the air, the
Seneca Sustainable Energy LLC power plant north of Eugene cuts an
eye-catching profile.
But how much is the innovative 38-acre facility worth?
Seneca and government tax authorities have fought quietly in Oregon Tax
Court over that question ever since the local Jones family built the
wood-burning electricity plant and opened it in April 2011.

Looking for ways to help the state’s struggling beekeepers, Wyoming lawmakers are considering
offering them a tax break that
farmers and ranchers currently get.
The Joint Agriculture, State and Public Lands, and Water Resources Interim Committee has asked legislative staff to prepare a
bill for consideration at its next meeting in September that
would allow beekeepers to designate their land as agricultural land
under the state’s revenue codes.

Having an issue with a co-worker can be a time-consuming,
energy-draining, unproductive challenge. Whether you feel like you are
being treated unfairly, unprofessionally or both, it can be frustrating
and difficult to face personnel problems at work. It can be even more
exhausting if you do not have a human resources office that is set up
for employee relations work. Thus, before you lose more sleep or add
more stress to your life, consider this guidance from HR professionals.
