- Over $22,000,000 of homes were missed in Cheney alone.
Tax payers make up the difference for these and other homes not on the tax rolls.

- There are numerous homes over $500,000 appraised at 1/2 to 1/3 the actual value, and some not at all.
Again, the tax payers make up the difference.

- Turnover since the current assessor’s tenure is over 25%.
The amount of experience and knowledge lost cannot be measured.

- Assessor’s interview with Randy Shaw regarding millions in missed properties.
