Thurs, Apr. 13, 7 pm � A Smarter Property Tax For DC, with Deborah Katz,
Coordinator, Washington Regional Network for Livable Communities.  Under
split-rate taxation, used by a number of communities around the country,
housing is taxed at a lower rate than land under the housing.  The
intent is to provide an incentive to keep properties in good repair and
discourage abandonment and vacant lots.  Will a split-rate tax reduce
the number of nuisance properties?  What about the impact on affordable
housing and job creation?  Should DC adopt it?  Should the ANC support
it?  ANC 1E community forum at the Mount Pleasant Library, 16th & Lamont
Streets, NW, (202) 727-1361. Contact: Bill Mosley, (202) 265-4982.
