For 27 years they’ve cared for it, | understand there is precedent to do something like this. But we don’t
have to sell it. It is just awful and it just a big argument and it is not going to get any better if we give or
sell it or deed it over to anyone. So until they can agree, | would just say we don’t have to sell that land
and | don’t think we should.
President McCarthy

possession does not reset itself based on new owners but the continued usage of land. If adverse
possession is successfully established, which we believe we have a compelling case, it would move the
boundary line where we believe it should lawfully be.

We had a house on Berkeley Street that was kind of an interesting situation that had a fire and the
assessment was very, very low. | knew that wouldn’t be the only property | found; | managed to find
several others that fit in that profile that speak to practices that | just feel have no place in an Assessing
Office. So that deeply disturbs me and it is pretty disappointing.

really a disturbing piece of information on sales verifying. And also, | could not track a pattern like if you
... 2013 was an assessment year, if you bought your house in 2013/2014 and everything had been
equalized to 94% and did they take the home value if it sold that year and bring it to 94%, because that
was the equalized ratio? No they didn’t; they did some, they did us at 97 but they left other homes at
85, 82, you know, $100,000.00 differences.
