NPTR: Alert 191: Tax Revolt Already is Top Story for 2009

[AABakst at aol.com]

A very big congratulations to Maryanne.
I remember a few years ago when the assessor made the remark that the  revolt 
would soon go away. The response was "You don't know Maryanne"
I guess they found out who she is by now.

TAX REVOLT ALREADY IS TOP STORY FOR  2009


ALERT:  #191
DATE: January 2, 2009
TO: Incline Village & Crystal Bay  Property Owners
FROM: Village League  Tax Revolt Committee

Dear Incline  Village & Crystal Bay Property Tax Protesters,

The North  Lake Tahoe Bonanza declared that our tax revolt efforts will be 
the top story  for 2009.  What a way to start the New Year!

Read below the  editorial published by the Bonanza today.


TOP STORY OF  2009

NLT  Bonanza Editorial

When the Bonanza  last week narrowed down its choices for the top 10 story 
topics of 2008, it  was not an easy task, and many story topics just missed the 
cut.

One of those story  topics was the tax revolt situation in Incline Village 
and Crystal Bay, an  issue that has been ongoing for six years, a topic the 
Bonanza staff, both  current and past, has written about extensively in this space.

There¢s no doubt  this is a very important issue to this community, and that 
was assured as 2008  wound down, when Judge Charles McGee added to a list of 
big decisions by  higher courts last year by ruling that Washoe County must 
refund 830 parcels  as soon as possible.

This decision could  hold a ton of bearing for all the other pending cases. 
Unlike the Oct. 30  Supreme Court decision that affects 8,700 parcels, in which 
it is unknown if  or when refunds will be given, Judge McGee¢s ruling orders 
refunds to happen  ASAP, and county staff right now is working the numbers.

The dominoes are  falling, folks, and with each powerful ruling from the 
district and state  supreme courts, it seems they are tumbling with a bit more 
force. It¢s only a  matter of time before the State Board of Equalization 
reconvenes to hear the  8,700 cases that stem from the Oct. 30 court order in regard 
to the 2006-2007  tax year.

If the state board  rules Washoe County must refund 8,700 parcels, the 
dominoes will begin falling  like sledgehammers.

At a time when the  county might struggle to find funds for 830 refunds, what 
happens if the SBOE  decides soon they need to come up with 10 times that?

For these reasons,  we did not include the tax revolt among the top stories 
of last year. Instead,  we see this as the No. 1 story heading into 2009.

By the time this  year is over, and we compile our top stories of 2009, the 
tax revolt will be  an easy choice for the No. 1 slot.

So easy, in fact,  that we¢ve already made the call.
