& Crystal Bay Property Tax Protesters,</span><br><br>Both the Reno-Gazette Journal and the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza felt that our latest Nevada Supreme Court victory was worthy of front page coverage. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">We certainly

forebodings of all of the efforts that Washoe County will make to derail the payment of millions of dollars in reimbursements plus interest to the deserving taxpayers of Incline Village and Crystal Bay. <br><br>When will the County <span style="font-weight: bold;">“wake up and smell the coffee?”</span> The Village League has won four out of four Nevada Supreme Court consecutive cases with unanimous decision. Why is the County still litigating about matters that they have already lost? Justice is delayed, but at what an enormous expense to the County.<br> <br>While Washoe County dithers, the 6% interest, as awarded by the Court, on repayments as yet not issued, continues to compound at $12,000 per day.<br><font style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" size="4"><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">How much more fiscal mismanagement can Washoe County afford?</span></font><br><br><br><br><div
style="text-align: center;"><font style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" size="6"><span style="font-weight: bold;">BASIS OF THE DECISION</span></font><br></div><br>The latest Order to equalize that came from the Supreme Court is directly based on the fact that
property taxes, paid on residential land located in the lakeside portion of Douglas County, are only one quarter to one half the dollar amount of taxes paid on parcels of the same value by Incline Village and Crystal Bay owners <br><br>Additionally, the Village League has succeeded in getting land values lowered and overpaid taxes reimbursed to about 1200 of the 8700 IV/CB property owners. Why should the remaining taxpayers not receive the same relief? <br><br>The Nevada Constitution guarantees that this unfairness will not happen!! Why does Washoe County continue to insist that it has rights that supersede those of the citizens?<br><br>Since the courts have ruled that illegal and unconstitutional methods were universally applied to everyone in IV/CB why does the County think that it should keep the excess taxes it collected?<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><font style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" size="6"><span style="font-weight:
