CLR was 81.1% until recently. Due to a court case it's now 63.6.

Fuck them. Wow. They're taking $$$ from the department of Ed and then also turning around and avoiding property taxes. Assholes.
All while surviving on taxpayer money. That's balls.
That explains the shell company. So they can keep getting a shit ton from DOE to reimburse leases.

Reply to comment by uglybushes in Home Warranty Recommendations (for appliances) by StopOhThenWigleWitIt
Agreed. They really don't cover much. Stuff in your home breaks and you gotta pay for it. All the warranty does is add a profit source to the company offering the warranty.
good article that suggests you put the premiums into an emergency fund instead -- https://www.investopedia.com/articles/mortgages-real-estate/11/home-warranty-worth-it.asp

I’ve never seen any value in home warranties

I am so sick of writing "Not at this address" on letters from the previous 10 people who lived at my address.

Worked at Target for 7 years. Dates on snack foods are usually a manufactured date. If it has an expiration date, it will explicitly say “best by” or “use by.” Those pretzels are just fine.

Pretty much my thoughts. No amount of money would possibly be enough to make up for their loss. If they run out of things to spend it on and want to donate it to a charitable cause, that’s awesome. If they want to keep it for themselves, that’s great too. No strings attached on my contribution.

The UPC barcode is the same on every package. Their computers don’t know the date on every package. This is just a coincidence.

Clr is like 63%.... 80% is not typical. A 17% reduction in your taxes would likely pay for your lawyer bills in a year, it did for us. You should call one of em up and have a chat, it will all be free. They can give you real advice.

Presby and only Presby! Any family I need to take to the ED… I take them to Presby, I’m an RN and I’ve worked many places. Presby has the most resources to figure out wtf to do, staff trained that actually know what their doing and overall… outcomes are better at Presby. Just my 2cents.
If your Highmark… AGH!

Thanks for the info. I’ve already reduced down 20%, which is the typical 80% from 100% of sale. But I’m wondering if this is just the same procedure all over again with the same people, same forms, etc in hopes of further reducing down to common level ratio without any evidence used in the initial appeal (which is typically “necessary” home improvements)? And if so, is there a risk of losing the appeal and being assessed back to 100%?

League Pass is only like $15 for the rest of the season. I would just snag that. I've also had luck at the bars of suburban Mexican restaurants asking them to put on games, bc nobody goes to those to watch hockey.

It has stuff from last year listed. Not sure where the 10 years thing you said came from.

I’m assuming they probably mis-typed someone’s SSN or insurance ID number and got to yours. Still a weird mistake.

Snyder is an outside vendor. All the vendors should be rotating their stock and giving credits for out of date items. Either the store is doing something shady, or Snyder messed something up, and that date might be fine. Also, while 4 months would not be ideal, if that is accurate, it would still be edible as long as it is sealed.
It's been a while, so I don't remember, but some vendors will leave out of dates at the store when issuing credit to dispose of or throw them away themselves. Sometime of vendors left out of dates, and we would let people take them or whatever. Of course, they were out of date by a few days, not months.

Common level ratio is law. They are required to apply the common level ratio unless they can prove your house was sold at less than it was worth which is difficult. I'd say just eat the 300 bucks and make a rent rate lawyer deal with it. That's worth the cost of your time. It's a phone call for the lamest of lawyers. For you it's a waste of a shit load of your time and stress.
I ain't no lawyer but I just did this shit. I was also acquaintances with the people who sued in an attempt to force the county to do a county wide reassessment. The judge flaked but reduced the clr.
It's a crap shoot where the lawyers do nothing for a year then it finally gets resolved by a few emails. Super annoying. But it's most likely not worth your time to do it yourself.

On a side note, is anyone else just completely exhausted of these grocery store prices? I strictly go to Aldi, but their prices are even starting to climb.
