This is one thankless job. Anyone in there right mind would not volunteer for this position unless you just want to make a lot of enemies.
He wouldn't want me on there because I think the assessments should go down as housing values have, which would mean cutting the revenue. Last hike mine went up 80%.
The house has improvements, however the neigborhood has went downhill and I'd probably be lucky to get what I paid for it.
someone has to do it
