To Whom it may concern:
Just a note to tell
everyone how inept and foolish, and maybe corrupt, the cBenton County officials
are, yes foolish.
I teach a class in
wellness 2 days a week, free of charge in Rogers. I take stuff from my house
which is really my daughter’s house, to teach the class. I do leave the chairs in the room. I got a letter at my home (I do not live in
Rogers) from the Benton County Assessor’s office stating that I had been
assessed for commercial property in the amount of $12,000, listing lots of
equipment and furnishing that was in my office, remember that I have only
equipment etc. from my home in my class and I have a $5 cardboard sign
(assessed @ $580) in the window showing where the class is meeting, my name and
phone# is on the sign: no address of my home, yet the assessment was sent to my
home. I do not have a land line, do not
have a house, do not use the words “Freddie’s Classroom” anywhere except on that
sign live on cash and own nothing excepting a car that was a gift and a dell
laptop computer. In fact, I do not even use that classroom and have not used it
in about a year. Go ahead, Benton County you may have my $800 a month Social
Security check. I will find another place to do my good deeds.
When the building owner
contacted the Assessor, he was told that they use a third party to go out and
assess businesses, he/she sees a sign in the window and visualizes what is in
the room and makes the assessment, my, oh, my, what a professional way to do
business, in fact it is criminal because he/she is cheating everyone they
assess. I can imagine when they see a “For Rent” sign, how long does it take
them to find the address of Mr. For Rent so they can send the bill for the
vision that is seen by the third party.
I am 82 years old and
spend most of my time trying to help people,” no good deed goes unpunished”.
If I were even 10 years
younger, I would fight, fight, fight but I just don’t feel that at this time I
could make a difference. Just had to get
this off my chest and maybe have a little less stress because of it.
