I would like to commend Mark Miller for his cogent articles on property taxes. Although his writing and accompanying diagrams were clear, there still seems to be a lot of room for uncertainty in the assessment and tax levies in Wells County.

This is not meant as a slight to the assessor’s office, which has a difficult job. I think more of “too many fingers in the pie” might cover a lot of my sentiment.

Thanks again for the good information on local property taxes. Another good reason to maintain a local newspaper such as the News-Banner.
