Thanks for posting this report. Given the makeup of the Blue Ribbon Panel you would<BR>
think that someone would have proofread the charts and tables. When I see headings<BR>
that read "Medium Income" and "Medium House Price" I know that our city government<BR>
is in the hands of idiots. It is hard to give this report any real credibility.<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><FONT face=Arial>Andy,<BR> <BR>first there are no "Million dollar houses" in CV. Most sell for under 400K. Tweefie can vouch for that. the main issue is that some assessments are more than the FMV of the prioperty today. Also that the assessments are more than 10% higher than the previious ones. The value for land tripled on many properties. There are other messages on the EGLS list which might add some more flavor. I just wanted to share information - not start a debate.<BR> <BR>Happy New Year.<BR> <BR>Brad<BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR><B>From:</B> tweefie@juno.com <BR><B>To:</B> discussion@charlesvillage.info <BR><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, January 01, 2008 5:53 PM<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Discussion] Assessment gouging, and other tax nightmares.<BR><BR>Im not sure what difference it makes, but I bet the estimation is probably pretty accurate. <BR>I have seen pictures of the houses on my street from when Greenmount Ave was a field.<BR>So, I tend to think the 100 year old label is right. <BR><BR><BR></FONT></SPAN>
