Please watch this important message from the Citizen’s Realty Advisory Program
outlining the Tamworth Millionaire Program (T.M.P.): a bold new
initiative the Tamworth Selectmen have embarked upon to help struggling
residents through these difficult economic times by drastically
increasing their net worth. Find out how you too can become an
overnight multi-millionaire simply by criticizing the actions of
Tamworth politicians. This film may also be educational for other
emotionally insecure, brazen, morally bankrupt politicians outside of
Tamworth who are looking to increase tax revenue in their own towns.
Selectman Willie Farnum, prior to a public meeting, openly described
his policy for dealing with the few hundred privacy minded families who
did not give their permission for the tax assessor to enter their homes
during last year’s re-assessment: evaluate the interior of their homes
at the highest level possible (assume the interior of an old Tamworth
farm house is encrusted with granite countertops and $800 faucets, for
example), and residents will come to the Selectmen begging to have the
assessor in their home when they see their tax bill. This policy could
account for the first million dollars of my assessment, but John
Roberts’ motion, seconded by Farnum, to increase my assessment to four
million dollars is clearly a perpetuation of their objection to folks
speaking out against them that started
with former Selectman Tom Abugelis’ public flogging for a
letter-to-the-editor criticizing the mentality of town government. I
can’t imagine the Selectmen will fess up to their assessment being a
punitive measure, but a four million dollar price tag on an unfinished
single-family home and a 36′x36′ barn speaks for itself.
