Since last November, I have been the chair of the Metro Tax Increment Financing Study and Formulating Committee. This is a new group to study how Metro uses tax increment financing and to formulate recommendations for its implementation in a more transparent, equitable, effective, and understandable manner.

The committee's report was released today.I'll be writing more about this in the coming weeks. For now, here is the report and the press release that went along with it.
