    Assessments

    Has anyone received a notice about their assessments yet? They should be arriving soon.

    The mailings have hit today!!! Anyone receive a notice of an increase in their assessment for 2010? I am watching the key political people in the city who have not received an increase since this 100% market value started in 2005.

    A report "study" should be done and see how all elected key players are assessed in erie county. I wonder if it would show a pattern if any.

    Post Facts!

    Lackawanna could save over $100,000.00 if they let Erie County or another community absorb our assessment office.
    This will never happen while team polanski sits on the throne because.........
    no offense to the innocent employees BUT talk about SHADY DEALS! Ha! This is hard core and big money!

    FYI:The Lackawanna Assessment Board 3 members get paid a stipend from the City budget to be on it, only them and Civil Service. ALL other boards, Planning, etc. serve voluntarily. What is up with this. I do not think anyone needs to get paid, their payment should be in the form of betterment for the city.
    Citizens please ask the Governor, yes Paterson, for an investigation here!
    Talk about shady deals and Pol-tricks, this is where the king really rules!

    Are you sure about that? My town looked into it and it would cost us way more than we currently are paying.

    keep us informed cath. The bank recently lowered my equity line of credit saying my home wasn't worth as much but good old LA says it's worth 10K more. Go figure......Polanski must need to hand out more jobs. Senate races can be expensive
