IN ADDITION TO THESE MEDICAL EXPENSES I HAVE OVER THE COUNTER EXPENSES FOR PERSONAL HYGEINE PRODUCTS, I MUST PAY FOR GAS FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ME TO DR,APPTS. I MUST PAY FOR FOOD, HEATING FUEL, TRASH REMOVAL, ETC. ETC. STOCKBRIDGE DENIED MY POVERTY EXEMPTION BECAUSE I AM OVER THE LIMIT THAT THEY CHOSE TO USE. THEY ALSO DENIED A 50% or 75% REDUCTION I AM BARELY SURVIVING. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY PROPERTY TAXES. STOCKBRIDGE IS OUT OF CONTROL. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST PROPERTY TAXES IN RURAL INGHAM COUNTY. ENBRIDGE PAYS MILLIONS IN PROPERTY TAXES TO STOCKBRIDGE. PEOPLE OUT HERE ARE LITERALLY STARVING TO DEATH.. WE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED T0 CHOOSE BETWEEN FOOD, INSULIN ETC. AND PAYING TAXES ON SOMETHING WE ALREADY OWN. I LIVE EVERYDAY IN FEAR OF LOSING MY HOME. PLEASE CONSIDER MY APPEAL. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you request a poverty exemption at the Board of Review?
