Thank you!

I was the child in that situation, but it practically killed the person who was accused as far as I see it.

No worries though, I just think more people ought to know about this because it rarely factors into discourse pertaining to false accusations and it should.

What I'm saying is that the land vs structure split is probably not being properly assessed because it's not relevant since taxes are based on the total assessment and unless you have a special tax status for your land the split doesn't matter except in your head where you think you're being treated unfairly.

I can't assess if you are being treated unfairly however because what matters is the comparative total assessment value as a % of market value for your entire property compared to those of your neighbors.

It is extremely common for people to challenge their assessments and they have varying levels of success depending on the town or city (which you've also left out). Most towns have only 1 assessor, sometimes even part time.

I would/could NEVER do that! Only a monster would do that! I’m sorry if something like that happened to you.

I cant wait for someone to ask where the best place between marlborough and Fitchburg to get the best gallon of milk under $3.99 is.

Land is valued based on its current use, so .5 acre vs 1 acre are equal in absolute value because each represents a single buildable lot. The price per sq ft isn’t the way to look at land valuations. They will take factors such as location etc into account so it won’t be identical.

Don't lie about molestation, it will really fuck up your kids

Edit: false accusations about that are very common in custody battles. Don't do it.

Sunrise is for sale!

FWIW, every ski area in New England makes most of the snow themselves.

Thank you very much

My STBX has retained a “shark”. I didn’t want things to go this way. I need someone who is not easily intimidated, and also very good at what they do.

Miiiiister Crowley, what you done in your head?

Thanks!

That’s what I am thinking too. It’s important that the attorney has a good, professional relationship within the court system.

You'd be surprised. I've worked at various ski areas and resorts around New England and a running theme in Massachusetts is lift operators who have never attempted to ski and have no desire to, they just like working the lifts because it's easy work if you don't do more than the bare minimum.

Ha! Same

Thank you

Each mind-altering substance has its own unique effects and risks. The effects of psilocybin may be more "intense", by some measures, but I've always felt more in control under its influence than I have with alcohol, for example. Likewise, while a bad experience with mushrooms can be much worse, bad experiences with cannabis are much more common in my personal history, and I've had far more bad experiences with alcohol which objectively does much more damage to society than either of the others.

Ooh, yeah,I didn’t sense that was a joke! I thought perhaps you’d lost in court and the opposing attorney was a badass!

I used Anton Reinert. Steady, super detail oriented and knowledgeable, and a dry sarcastic sense of humor that I appreciated. Every time I lost my temper he was there to calm me down and take an even keeled, strategic approach. Highly recommend him. DM me if you want more info.

I present the World Series defense

OP and her partner are no longer chums.

Filibuster

Appearing in person at the court date gets most of these minor offences dropped or reduced to nothingness.

But don't try your "defense". Just admit your mistake, take responsibility, apologize, and ask if they will be lenient on this first offense.
