During a public hearing as a part of a special Village Board meeting Tuesday in Caledonia Village Hall, President Jim Dobbs asked the audience three times if there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of proposed property assessments. None came forward.
Then Dobbs asked the audience if anyone wished to speak in opposition. Many came forward.
âNone of us here wanted this (or) asked for it,â Dwight Majeres, who owns 1.02 acres on Four Mile Road and whose estimated assessment payment would be the minimum $31,625.18, said angrily. âWe got it stuffed down our throat ⦠Iâm going to have to sell my place. I canât afford to live there. Iâm by myself. What am I going to do? Where am I going to go ⦠what, go to a nursing home?â
