Dear Board members,

Attorney Bolton’s win at any cost mentality is unethical, has no place in determining
property equity and wastes taxpayer dollars. Most seniors on fixed incomes watch
their money closely. Gaming 80 year old people on their tax bill is not cause to
celebrate.

The Nashua Legal Offices Abuse of Seniors

Senior citizen newcomers to Nashua filed an abatement on their 2016 residential
property assessment believing the assessment unfair. The City denied it. The couple
appealed to the Board of Tax and Land Appeals (BTLA} and lost the decision. The
folks did not understand the NH appeal process and did not present the required
evidence to win the appeal. However, the BTLA kept the door open and would not
rule in favor of the city on several points.
