Assessor Responds to Critics on Unpublished List Funding
Lee Assessor William Salinetti told the Selectmen he was shocked by Eagle remarks charging failure to publish a local tax assessment list. He cited lack of funds and incomplete figures until after September, noting the town meeting article only required a list in the next town report due February 1970. Abatements through Dec 31 are allowed, with publication debated as clerical work and fundraising noted.
