The Tax Assessment Board urged appeals by 94 vacant lot owners but the Town Council deferred ruling for further study. The revaluation, ordered by Town Administrator Balzano, raised totals by about 11 million dollars and boosted tax revenues by roughly 55 thousand, though the Board found assessments unfair for vacant land.

Seven Southerly Storms Hit The Region This Season

Yesterday's southerly storm marked the seventh of its kind this season, setting a tentative regional record for fall storms. The pattern features a southeaster followed by a northwest cold front and has arrived early this year. Despite repeated events, damage remains limited to typical flooding of low areas and downed limbs. Hope Street in the Silver Creek area was briefly blocked, and a post Election Day storm on November 8 affected the British Isles and continental Europe as well.
