About Us

To All Island Taxpayers,   3/08/09

 

Last year we started forming a group that is pursuing litigation against the Town of Clayton, the Assessor and  both school districts that cover the Town of Clayton.  We have hired Robert Beebe, from the Albany area, as our Lawyer.  Mr. Beebe is currently representing other groups with the same intentions and concerns as ours.  His web site is under the links tab on our website.  

Mr. Beebe is the top lawyer in this field in New York State, and came highly recommended by these other groups.  Mr. Beebe was the Consul General for NYS Office of Real Property Services for 18 years (ORPS).   He knows when a township has crossed the line and can prove this with the letter of law and facts, presenting to the judge the illegal grounds upon which the assessor carried out our assessment.  No ones taxes should increase 40-80% in one year, thus allowing for inland taxes to go down an average of 15- 20%. 

Please check you tax records for years 2007, 2008, and now for the start 2009.  Calculate your percentage of actual tax dollar increase.    Islanders are being taken for a ride and we mean to put an end to this policy. 

Our goal is 75 participants but 50 would be great.  The more people involved the less cost for everyone.

 

The intention of the lawsuit is to:  This was removed and is not for public consumption.

 All these requests are standard results sought in this and other cases.  These requests are also all or in part a result of the legal decision as to the illegal manner in which the 100% re-evaluation was done in 2008.

Our web site is : www.claytontaxpayers.com.  We have not put any recent actions on the site or any list of properties or participants involved.  If you wish more information on who is involved, are interested in, or have questions, please call or E-Mail me.   We consider this action like “money under the mattress”, and are confident of a positive outcome.

 Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested and wishes to save tax dollars.

 

Respectfully yours,

  Will Salisbury

    I’ve been included in taxations for lengthier then I care to acknowledge, both on the personal side (all my employed life-time!!) and from a legal viewpoint since satisfying the bar and following tax law. I’ve offered a lot of advice and righted a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve posted makes impeccable sense. Please continue the good work - the more people know the better they’ll be outfitted to cope with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
