Televangelist’s $3.6 million jet not tax-exempt, appraiser says

Kenneth Copeland A Kenneth Copeland Ministry jet worth $3.6 million has been denied tax-exempt status by the Tarrant Appraisal District, setting the stage for a battle that could require the minister to reveal his salary if he wants the jet to be tax-free.
