Re: [LincolnTalk] Erroneous property tax dunning notice

These episodes sound like grounds for a class action lawsuit to me.  If the
Town is at fault through valid and documented use of their system, they
have real liability in my estimation.

[LincolnTalk] Thank you. Velvet

2023-05-21 Thread Joan Kimball
Thank you for your very skillful response to us.   We all need to have a
basic understanding of each other, where we are coming from and the nature
of our journeys.  And it takes time.

 Your explanation was both clear and kind.

Yes, multiple times I was fined for being late and they would do nothing about 
it. This is a poor result of an outdated system.

It is 2023, I hope that we can start having cost-free electronic billing and 
payment soon.

[copying the Tax Collector on this email]

 

I have the same (or similar) problem—not with my property tax, but with my auto 
excise tax. 

 

My check was dated 3/21 and it cleared the bank. I wonder if a batch of the 
Town’s deposits were improperly recorded (i.e., credited to the wrong account) 
by the accounting staff?

Hi folks,

Today I received a dunning notice for my property tax, even though I paid it on 
time (and have documentation to prove it). I assume I'll be able to straighten 
this out with the town, but I have a vague memory of this happening to a bunch 
of people before, so was just wondering if anyone else had been hit with it 
this latest time?

[LincolnTalk] Looking for nautical charting tools to borrow

2023-05-21 Thread Noah Eckhouse
Hi Lincoln, I’m working on my navigation skills for boating and hope to borrow 
two items:


  1.  A parallel ruler set, used to step courses to compass rose on a chart
  2.  A divider/compass, used to measure distance between two points on a chart

Anyone have these tools collecting dust in a drawer that they would loan me for 
a month or so?

Thanks in advance…
