IssuesWatch Podcast Plus: U.S. Economy and New Jersey Property Taxes (E2605584)

IssuesWatch Podcast Plus provides multiple episodes of the IssuesWatch Podcast in webinar format for CPE credit. This volume covers the following topics:

Segment 1 — Inflation, Tariffs and Sentiment: Where is the U.S. Economy Headed?
The U.S. economy continues to send mixed signals. Inflation has cooled but hasn’t disappeared. Consumers are sour on the economy, but they continue to spend. And the impact of tariffs is still up in the air. Curtis Dubay, chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, unpacks where the economy stands and what CPAs and their clients should be watching in the months ahead.

Segment 2 — Rebates, Reform and Reality: The State of New Jersey’s Property Taxes
New Jersey is famous for many things, but its nation-leading property tax rates usually top the list of resident grievances. In this episode, we sit down with Marc Pfeiffer, senior policy fellow at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, to demystify the complex machinery behind property taxes. Marc breaks down the fundamental mechanics of why the rates are so high, how property taxes are calculated and where the money goes — ultimately addressing the age-old question: Are we actually getting what we pay for?
