The suit was granted a change in venue to Hancock County to address the remaining issue of refunds, where citizens also won.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday's announcement of a FOUR BILLION DOLLAR ERROR is absolute validation of the citizens' concerns and request for reassessment; an indictment of the assessment process as a baseless scam, devoid any standard.<BR/><BR/>Is this reassessment a guarantee, that the state is operating by the court ordered, market value standard? I submit that the only market value system which exists, is the transaction itself (usually done at a title company), and not the stage play (assessment "system") of money grubbing predators, playing "representative" at the west end of Market Street.<BR/><BR/>So how does it happen, the point at which you cross the line and convince yourself that your self-serving, special interest dealings are on behalf of the "greater good, vs. your lesser greed?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
