A Time for Faith and Action IV

News from the Augusta Tax Revolt

I've added my thoughts [in red text in parentheses].

1. Time to Turn In Assessment Petitions [TODAY]!
Petitions should be returned this week with a March 9 deadline. We are busy counting signatures before turning in petitions to the Board of Supervisors at Wednesday's meeting. There are three ways to return petitions:-- Mail to Francis Chester (address on petition).-- Drop off at Francis Chester's law office (address on petition)-- Let us know you need petitions picked up by responding to this email.

2. March 11, 2009 - Board of Supervisors Meeting [This Wednesday, 7:00pm]
The petitions that are being circulated around Augusta County will be turned into the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday March 11, 2009, at 7 pm at the Government Center in Verona. All are urged to attend. This will also be the opportunity for those who want to address the Board. Churchville attorney Francis Chester will turn in the petitions asking the board to turn back assessments to 2005 values.

3. Parking
It would help if parking closest to the door could be left for our elderly residents and the handicapped. [A real opportunity to show our class as citizens of this great County]!

4. Seating
You may want to arrive early on March 11 for good seating and to sign up if you wish to address the board.

5. Petitions available
Petitions are still available asking the Board of Supervisors to roll back real estate assessments to 2004 levels:-- Online: Here is the location of the online petition.-- Hard copy: Contact us if you want an emailed petition.

Together, Augusta ... we can make a difference!
