BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy will have his Baton Rouge home reassessed to bring it up to a higher value, East Baton Rouge Tax Assessor Brian Wilson said Tuesday, Feb. 23.
The issue of Cassidy’s home possibly being valued too low was first brought up by an opponent in his re-election campaign last year.
The owner of a home near Cassidy will also likely face a higher assessment, Wilson said.
