The revaluation
What did the town of Thomaston learn from it's recent revaluation? What policy and procedure changes have been made in the wake of the disaster? What makes anyone believe that it was the revaluation companies fault for what happened? Wasn't a major part of the problem the incorrect field cards that made these values incorrect. I'd like to see major changes in the way information is sent from the building inspector and zoning enforcement officer to the assessor and tax collector. An internal audit of these records must be accomplished. With only 3,000 residences in town a comprehensive audit could be accomplished quickly to ensure good information is given to the next revaluation company. Garbage in and garbage out. I wouldn't be surprised to see the next reval be just as bad as this one was.
