LAND TAX -- Meet Jonathan Siedel Thursday at Calvary at 7pm

[Vincent/Roger]

-- Are you concerned about proposed Historic Districts? -- Are you concerned about a nuisance property? -- Are you concerned about the Mayor's Vacant Property plans?   So many of these concerns -- all the subject of many recent postings on local listserves -- are addressed by new proposals -- soon to be taken up by City Council -- to create a "land tax" to replace a part of the "property tax."   City Comptroller Jonathan Siedel believes that many of the "problem property" issue stems from a poor system of taxation that could be better addressed by some use of a land tax.   COME HEAR FOR YOURSELF!  At a public meeting this Thursday at Calvary Church, this Thursday night at 7pm.  The University City Community's opinions will be important in the development of new legislation.    This program stems from a request from Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell for community input, and it is sponsored by the University City Community Council.  We hope that many people will come out to listen, question, and voice opinions.   Thank you, Roger Harman, President, Cedar Park Neighbors (on behalf of the UCCC)
