The weird irony here is that people like this CEO seem to actually be the ones that are more akin to fascists . <| sep |> It ' s tough man , but you should know by now what the deal is here . Next time for sure stay in your lane . <| sep |> you meant it <| sep |> I think that right now they are trying to find their rhythm and niche in the new audience <| sep |> Most appeals of property assessment are done before the Bd . of Assess . Appeals BOAA ~ they must have open meetings and public deliberations minutes , notice of meetings , agendas produced , and publicly accessible hearings . Here Vision wants to perform appeals wo needing to comply with our open records laws . And it appears as if Vision is a quasigovernmental agency in this respect . The town needs to still comply with the open meetings laws relating to their appeal process . Why important ? First , its the law . Second , how are we to assess the Vision company if we cannot obtain access to public meetings and learn of each case brought before them ? Maybe they are terrible and many people appeal . they fix it behind closed doors . and the public never knows that they are bad at what they do and its likely that many who did not appeal maybe paying higher taxes than what they should . Really , I see no legal authority for them to do what they are doing but they are doing it and it activates the open meetings laws IMO . Government doing things behind closed doors is no good for our liberty . Also , if you attend and watch and learn what strategies work favorably in these hearings then you can tailor your appeal to these observations .
