Property taxes back in spotlight

If you haven't had enough of the property tax debate, then the place to be today is 37 Senate Office Building.

Beginning at 1 p.m., a Taxation and Budget Reform Commission panel will take up numerous proposals including one by Barney Barnett to cap local and state revenue and Gwen Margolis' idea to create a one-time homestead exemption for out-of-state residents. Another is Carlos Lacasa's sales tax swap.

Unfinished business will spill over to a meeting Tuesday.
