Phila home value reassessment plan stalls

    Is now the best time to reassess Philadelphia home values? The plan has stalled as the agency charged with the assessments the Board of Revisions of Taxes is asking for local politicians to become more involved. We’ll debate whether it’s important for the assessments to happen with
    BRETT MANDEL executive director of Philadelphia Forward who is threatening to sue the City if it doesn’t move forward and ALAN BUTKOVITZ the Philadelphia City Controller who thinks re-assessing home values now would create economic upheaval and push some residents to leave the city.
