Governing Board to convene Wednesday, May 6 to consider acquisition of real property in the Verde
Valley
It’s not clear whether the surprise announcement of the secret meeting to be held Wednesday at noon by the District Governing Board is a tax stunt or a serious effort to develop the Yavapai Community College in the Verde Valley. All that is known at this time is that the Board is to meet in secret at noon to discuss the purchase of some property somewhere in the Verde Valley.
The Board is currently under pressure to turn down the request from the Administration to increase property taxes for a 6th time in ten years at its June meeting. This purchase may be just a political stunt masterminded by the administration to try and blunt the opposition coming from the Verde Valley to the tax increase. The timing seems strangely linked to the effort by the Wills’ administration push to raise County property taxes.
More to come.
