Resident urges county action on large drain assessments
Summary
A resident said he faces a drain assessment of over $40,000 and urged the county and state representatives to address what he called unfair financial burdens; he said he has contacted multiple officials and will continue to press the issue.
Jim Billig addressed the committee about a drain assessment exceeding $40,000 on his property and said similar assessments facing other residents need attention. Billig said he has contacted multiple elected officials and their staff, including congressional and state offices, and said he will continue to appear before the county to press for a remedy: "I'm not giving up on the people of Eaton County."
Billig acknowledged the meeting was the public-safety committee but said his three minutes on the soapbox were important because he believes large assessments are unjust and can cause severe hardship for homeowners. He asked the county to look for ways to address or mitigate large assessments for residents.
