The opinion

Lanzinger, J.,

dissenting.

{¶ 43} I dissent from the majority’s expansion of the owner-opinion rule to allow employees of a corporation to provide evidence of a property’s value, and I would affirm the decision of the Board of Tax Appeals that reinstated the auditor’s valuation.

French, J., concurs in the foregoing opinion.
