Is David Norman of Vernon CT a Taxpayer, Check the 2009-2010 Tax Bill- NOT!
Check your 2009-2010 Tax Bill
Anyone who would like to judge a certain editorial written by David Norman of Vernon Connecticut, can start the analysis by checking out the accuracy of certain statements written in the editorial, to do this you should click on the above Town of Vernon web address, then go to the 2009-2010 tax bill page, type in Norman, you will not find a David or a David J or a David Jacob Norman as a real estate property taxpayer in the Town of Vernon. This is all public information.
We would like to make sure you use the system correctly. This gentleman does not even own a car in town. WOW, I cannot believe nobody checked facts on these editorials. Especially in a situation when someone is claiming the Mayor is dishonest. Mr. David Norman needs to take a look in the mirror and check who he is really talking about.

You will not see a David Norman, you will not find a David on the page, David does not own property in Vernon, and David does not pay real estate property taxes, not even car taxes. You do not have to believe any of this, maybe the web page is a hoax, so please call the assessor tomorrow and check.
Shame on you David Norman. This is not your first silly letter to the editor.
PS: I recived a question about why this response is writtem the way it is- here is my response:
Just to be clear- the basis for Mr. Norman’s argument is that he paid higher taxes. While there is no requirement that one needs to pay taxes to vote (unless you are not registered to vote but own property in Town and want to vote in a referendum- in which case the ability to votes is contingent upon property ownership), decision making for voting purposes based upon taxes going up or down, as opposed to other reasons like party affiliation or ideology or just not liking someone, should be assessed on merit instead of half truths. I don not suggest that someone votes only based upon party affiliation, but some try to argue other issues becasue they are only concerned with party affiliation. Hence since Mr. Norman does not own real estate, you cannot check the facts that form the basis for his argument that his taxes went up as a result of a budget that passed, therefore it is not possible to debate the issue. If someone relies on a statement by another, like Mr. Norman in this case, and that is an important part of the decision making process for that someone- items like taxes and voting have corresponding values for some people, as well as statements that may tend to attack credibility, as they can act as a double edge sword. Assessing a conclusion requires testing the facts that underlay the conclusions. If he is saying he knows of a property which the taxes "payment" had increased he should say so. Then we can test that statement, as some increases in real estate tax payments were due to a 1/3 increase in the assessment for real estate. The distinction is draw between real estate and personal property like automobile specifically because automobile remained constant based upon a state wide standard valuation, as opposed to a neighborhood by neighborhood valuation or a property that is newly built with no change in the valuation, thus the decrease in the tax rate lowered car taxes. But Mr. Norman does not own a car either. If Mr. Norman really does not like my ideology or my party affiliation as a republican then he should say so, instead of creating a fictitious situation where he tries to mislead folks into believing that I raised taxes on his real estate, and therefore I am not being truthful in a statement dealing with a “tax rate decrease”. I do not know Mr. Norman that is why I looked to see why he was making that statment in his letter to the editor. I did find an old editorial he had written.

Mayor Jason L. McCoy proposed to the Vernon Town Council pilot programs to assist Senior Citizens on fixed incomes
On October 5 2009 Mayor Jason L. McCoy proposed to the Vernon Town Council pilot programs to assist Senior Citizens on fixed incomes. The Two programs were adopted at that meeting.
The first Proposal that Mayor Jason McCoy proposed was that the Town Council adopt a Town of Vernon Elderly and Disabled Property Tax Relief Program § 12-129N, this program is one of two programs that senior citizens can use tighter to reduce their property taxes. The Property Tax Relief for elderly or disabled property owners age sixty five or older that have joint income of $37,700. At the meeting Council Member Bill Campbell increased the elderly income requirement to $37,700 to expand the number of citizens in Vernon who would be eligible for the program. On October 5, 2009 the Vernon town council approved Mayor Jason McCoy’s proposal for elderly and or disabled property tax relief program authorized pursuant to Conn. gen. stat. §12-129n, entitled "optional tax relief program for certain homeowners age 65 or over or who are permanently and totally disabled.
The first Proposal that Mayor Jason McCoy proposed was that the Town Council adopt a Town of Vernon Freeze Property Tax Relief Program. The Program is available for Senior Citizens who are 70 years or older or spouses of deceased property owners who are 62 years or older, those seniors who are 62 or older must be that age at the time of death of a spouse who is 70 or older. The program was proposed and adopted to help them freeze their assessment on their homes to prevent an increase in their taxes to assist them with dealing with living on fixed income. The program requires that any amount of property tax that is not paid due to the freeze during the senior’s homeowner ownership is repaid to the Town upon sale of the home. In most case this is a relatively small sum that is required to be repaid but helps seniors plan expenses while they live on fixed incomes. On October 5, 2009 the Vernon town council approved Mayor Jason McCoy’s proposal for the elderly freeze property tax relief program.
The Director of Finance James Luddecke and Town Assessor David Wheeler were present to answer questions regarding the program. Seniors should contact David Wheeler to check to see if they qualify or may contact the Mayor’s office for assistance.

Letters to the Editor: Winkler Counter Productive and Bullying
"I was not surprised to read about the bickering among the Vernon Town Council, especially when Mr. Mike Winkler is in the mix. I worked along side Mr. Winkler while at the labor union in which he works full-time. The board meetings in which Mr. Winkler is a leader are run in a very similar manner as the Town Council meetings - chaotic, disruptive, counter-productive with a whole lot of bullying and grandstanding. I am looking forward to the November elections when the whole crew can take their toys and leave the sandbox!
