A reader of my March 1, 2012, post titled Is It Time? attached a comment (see comment 134) disagreeing with some information concerning urban renewal districts and agencies posted on the Kootenai County Assessor’s Office URD webpage. I provided the entire comment to Kootenai County Assessor Mike McDowell, asked him to respond, and assured him that I would post his response in its entirety, unedited.
His response arrived today via email, and as promised, here is a link to it. I appreciate that Kootenai County Assessor Mike McDowell took the time to compose and send such a thoughtful response. His response makes it very clear that he is working diligently with state officials to resolve differences and disagreements that may affect the interpretation and beneficial application of those laws.
