I agree the meeting was a bit "odd." One problem is the township supervisor is the grandfather of the assessor. He goes nuts when anyone says anything negative about the assessor. To be more specific - the township uses an assessing "company" that is comprised of the supervisor's grandson and wife.
Note - the room was empty. Nobody there for the meeting except for my family. Me, my wife, and 14 year-old boy. We drove 80 miles in a snow-storm to get there. Note also this is the 9th year we have had to protest our taxes. We have prevailed every year so far.
So we walked in and there were five people. Four at a table and one at a desk with a laptop computer. Nobody would identify themselves. When I asked who everyone was - one person said I only wanted to know "because I was a looking for trouble."
I asked one main question, over and over. The last year - the Board found in my favor. This year it was jacked up over 30% again. I asked if they now disagreed with their own decision from last year? No answer. I was just told to leave and they were calling the sheriff.
As we were leaving one guy blurted out that my house was only assessed at $11,000 and it was a bargain. So I turned around and asked him what the heck he was talking about? He refused to answer me. I found out later he was the township supervisor. He seems to have no understanding how tax assessments work or how to read.
So at this point - I have ascertained who the five people were. One was the township supervisor who is supposed to take the minutes (yet seems not to know what planet he is on). Three Board members. The other with the laptop was the wife of the assessor who works with him.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
