Assessor to Address County Democrats

UPDATE: Due to a death in her family, Sue Reigelsberger will not attend the county convention as planned.


Pocahontas County Democrats will hear about property taxes from Sue Reigelsberger of Rolfe. She is the deputy county assessor and is about to succeed the retiring Brian DeWall.

Everyone in Des Moines claims to want property tax reform. But what does that mean for the many wind turbines in the county? What about the factories in Laurens or the taxes on Main Street? Will residential taxes go up when commercial taxes are cut? How is the plan of Iowa Democrats different from the Branstad plan?

Reigelsberger will speak to the county convention at the Courthouse on the afternoon of Saturday, March 10. The meeting convenes at 1:30 p.m. The convention will also select delegates to the state convention, approve a platform and elect local officers.

The public is invited. Registered Democrats may get to vote in the convention if their home precinct lacks a full delegation. Delegations were originally selected at the January precinct caucuses--first in the nation!
