In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“Considering the real estake market has been out of control since covid, I definately support property assesments to be based on the actual replacement values that you might get from your insurance, its more fair that way.”
— Kelly Butler, Gilsumsupports
“Property taxes should be based on an actual assessment, not a market value price. What someone "might' pay for a home, isn't what it's actually worth.”
— Amber Kehoe, Northfieldsupports
