Mr. Jacobowitz writes "the reason given for the Local Law was not factually or legally correct."
Neither factual nor legal correctness has ever been a major concern for this board majority.

In 1977 the village board abolished the separate tax roll and village assessor. The town assessment roll was adopted as the official tax roll for the village in order to reconcile inequities in the two jurisdictions. Apparently, that was changed at some time after 1977 by the board and lower tax assessments became the norm for certain village properties. The only tax increases for village properties will occur for properties with lower village assesments than the town assessments. Conclusions are your own.

I'm sure the following link will do nothing for most people here. You will see 2011 assessments and if you understand how an appraisal works you will see many glaring underpayments as well as overpayments on certain properties. You don't have to agree with me as this is my opinion but rest assured there are some people NOT paying what they should be while there are some overpaying.
Also the assessors job is a very tough one. He cannot actually get out and do a full appraisal on all properties(if he we a lic. appraiser) as there are not that many hours in the day. People should take a look at what some people in like houses are paying and decide what way to go. Those is "view preservation areas" are paying way too much in my opinion as when you do an appraisal the view counts very little.
