| 302 | Jeannette Thomas | My husband and I are active senior citizens who have owned our home for more than 25 years. We will not be able to maintain our quarterly payments if the proposed increase takes place. We are not ready to be forced into "senior living" and by the way - the senior living spaces that are comperable to where we presently reside -- we can't afford. What should we do? |
| 303 | Terry Dagradi | The Yale Home buyer program helped us to buy in New Haven, I city I have called home for over 20 years. Landlords rent for income - private homers owners cultivate community in our neighborhoods. Don't drive us out with excessive taxes! |
| 304 | Anonymous | I bought my house under the Yale Homebuyers Program. The taxes are extremely onerous, and will eventually force me to leave. If the mayor goes along with his current plan, my taxes will rise to over 11000 in 5 years (and my house is not exactly a mansion). |
| 305 | Matthew mcDermott | This is crazy. Destefano and his henchmen will succeed in destroying the renaissance that New Haven has been experiencing for that matter, they will succeed in destroying New Haven. My taxes will go from $4200 to nearly $14000 by the time the re-evaluation "phase in" is done.....Just in time for the next re-evaluation. |

| 314 | Kenneth Wallis | Families can no longer afford to live in New Haven.
Elderly on a fixed income can no longer afford to stay in their homes. But yet our government justifies spending 950 Billion Dollars over the past 7 years to support wars. |
| 315 | Anonymous | We bought a condo in downtown couple years ago and since than twe are paying more than twice in taxes. If this will continue we will be forced to sell our place. |
| 316 | Marc Nadeau | New Haven will become unaffordable, the cost and increases in 2008 a putting a strain on everyone. Something NEEDS to be done to decrease the taxes in New Haven for homeowners |
| 317 | Oren Bitman | i own an apartment on 542 Gerge st.the taxes went up 350% in one here.1st we sould know where is the money going to.2nd New Haven has the highest mill rate in CT, so how came it dosent look like stanford or has the same services has fairfield,insted we have one of the highest murders rate in the country.3rd this all way of taxetion is worng,and just made to make the assesors job easer.4th evryone sould know that if the tax is going up the value MUST go down ,since a home owner has a montly budget the more he spent on tax the less he can spent on mortgage,so it is mean that once the tax went up the value went down,now the assesor must take the value down by doing a new reavaluation,and it is ne and for that....

| 318 | Nick Schupbach | I own a condominium at 542 George Street in New Haven, Ct. Along with the undersigned residents of New Haven, I strongly believe that the combined effects of an unduly high mil rate and valuations performed at the peak of a real estate cycle are taxing this community. The representation afforded to the real estate owners of New Haven has been anemic in addressing this issue, and I’m distressed to see that the 350% increase in property taxes I’ve experienced is not unique to my property – but a hallmark of New Haven’s property tax policy. I hereby petition the New Haven Board of Alderman to reduce the New Haven mil rate and suggest that the Board put to vote a policy that would establish a maximum annual percentage increase for property taxes on any New Haven property. |

| 320 | Carrie Malcolm | I bought my house in the fall of 2006. Two years later, my mortgage/escrow payments have risen 12%- all the result of higher city property taxes. Unfortunately for me, and many New Haven residents like me, my income (from my Bridgeport Public School) has not come close to keeping pace with this increase! |
