Thanks to Al Norman for his revealing column “The Assessors Puzzle Box,” (Recorder, Jan. 18). We were shocked to discover we are paying more in real estate taxes for our three-bedroom ranch home than Patriot Care, the marijuana dispensary on Legion Avenue. As stated in the column, “When commercial properties are undertaxed, residential homeowners pick up most of the tab.” Something’s very wrong here.

Thanks to the Assessors’ Office for taking a close look at this issue and to the Recorder, for keeping the citizens apprised of this most important subject. Thank you.
