Default Taken In Famous Tax Case By Umatilla County
A default was entered in Pendleton Building and Loan association versus Umatilla County due to a mistake in not notifying the District Attorney. The DA asked the court to open the default, stating he had not seen the papers. It is expected the motion will be granted and the case may head to trial or settlement. The prior suit charged discriminatory assessment by the county against city property holders in favor of farm land owners and challenged board of equalization, but the court ruled the plaintiffs had no standing. A later suit removed fraud charges and offered a tender, altering the dispute by about 1000 dollars. The outcome hinges on whether a new assessment is made and potential reductions before the board of equalization.
