House Committee Investigating Delaware’s first statewide property reassessment

On Wednesday, House Speaker Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown and Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Dave Sokola announced committee assignments for the newly created special committees tasked with investigating Delaware’s first statewide property reassessment in more than two generations.
