At the last state-run hearing we had - the head of the Tax Tribunal came out from Lansing. He found in our favor and also said if the assessor raised us again - the Tax Tribunal might reimburse me for my expenses. That was just verbal and he put nothing in writing.
We have two places in two different counties in the lower peninsula. Also a third place in the upper peninsula. In the lower - even though there are two different counties (Alpena and Preque Isle) - both have the same assessor. The property we are fighting right now is in the township of Bismarck in Presque Isle County. The township supervisor AND the head of the Board of Review is the grandfather of the assessor. He gets real upset whenever I come to a meeting and complain about his "wonderful" grandson (Alan Berg).
So, here we go again. I am so sick of this - we might just sell out and live in an area with a different assessor. This one guy has five townships I think that he is the assessor of, besides being the supervisor of another. I think he wants control of all of the "tip of the mitt."
Last year our assessment got near doubled in the UP. In that case - we went to the Board of Review. They agreed with me and lowered the assessment. The assessor quit in a huff and now they have a new one. Oddly, this year I got notice it was lowered again. Same letter told me to come to the BOR if I disagree with the lowering of my assessment. I do not think I will complain. I am getting to love Chippewa County in "da UP."

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
