Gov. Bobby Jindal weighed in for the first time Tuesday on a scathing review of the Louisiana Tax Commission released by the state auditor last week, encouraging the commission to address issues raised in the audit. Commission officials said Tuesday some changes are already underway.
"The Tax Commission should ensure that properties are assessed at their fair market value when conflicts arise and LTC should also work with assessors to ensure any deficiencies pointed out by the auditor are corrected," said Jindal press secretary Sean Lansing.
