PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Laurie Ortolano, 41 Berkeley Street. Thank you for having community input. | wanted to talk a little bit
to you about concerns | have with practices in the assessing office. | came to Nashua about 5 years
ago and | became concerned after a few things with my tax bill about permits not being captured in the
City. | came from a town that | served on as an elected official for about 8 years and where permits
were always captured when work was done. | started to recognize that wasn’t happening here, and
started calling into the Assessor's Office and could not really get anywhere.
| elevated my concerns to other offices and was unable to make a connection. When the appraisal data
came out from KRT a few weeks ago, my husband and | are both engineers and | worked as an
analysist for Westinghouse as an engineer for many years. We are both data driven people so we
grabbed that KRT data base and we punched for about 30 hours on that data base and converted it
from a PDF file into an excel file and captured a lot of records. We cross-checked a lot of data and
started looking at some neighborhoods. | became very concerned and then came into City Hall a
couple of weeks ago to the permitting department and did some investigating, went upstairs to the
Assessor’s Office, had a discussion with two of the assessors there, raised many red flags and started
a bit of a stir.
| know Counsel Steve Bolton has been very helpful since Monday, | have spoken to him and he has
been wonderfully receptive and | am very appreciative and you should all be thankful you have such
