Louisville, KY - A few weeks ago I was sent a copy of a story from a rather obscure website regarding Greg Fischer and his home's assessed values. I am sure the same was sent to everyone in media in hopes of getting it widespread. Though an interesting fact based story it didn't really concern me a great deal. As most of you know I have been vigorously involved in a much larger investigation that includes a federal investigation that leads directly to Louisville.
I simply had to put it on the back burner. Then the CJ does a piece that really didn't do any serious investigations into the property values and I decided to take another look and make time.
Greg Fischer 1715 Spring Drive |
Normally, neighborhoods are very consistent in their appraised values for tax purposes. Budgets depend on consistent revenue projections.
Here is the proof from the PVA site itself:
Date Land Improvements Total Reason
01/01/2015 $150,000 $1,401,300 $1,551,300 DC - Decrease by Computer Reassessment
01/01/2009 $70,000 $1,646,190 $1,716,190 NC - Residential - No Change
01/01/2003 $70,000 $1,646,190 $1,716,190 NC - Residential - No Change
12/05/2001 $65,000 $1,651,190 $1,716,190 I - Improvement
A DECREASE of about 11%.
When re-reading the above linked story I decided to search known properties of the known residents in the neighborhood and see how they compared. The results are very disturbing.
Take for example the Barnstable Brown property located directly across the street at 1700 Spring Drive. Everyone across the nation is familiar with this property. It is the most well known in the nation thanks to the Kentucky Derby Barnstable Brown Gala and the national attention it receives each year.
But how does the value of this property compare?

Good question. The Barnstable Brown property gets reappraised at the same time as everyone else in the neighborhood.
How did they fare?

How about one of Mayor Fischer's right hand men Larry Bisig at 1730 Cherokee Terrace. Wonder how he feels right now.

And on it goes. It gets better going forward folks. I haven't even gotten to NULU government handout king Gil Holland or Yarmuth's government funded buddies at MD2U and Almost family like Greg Latta and the rest.
Oh by the way, The lawsuit against Greg Fischer brought about by Jay Morgan?
Morgan is Fischer's neighbor as well. Their backyards adjoin one another.

That ought to be a fun place to be right about now.
To the anonymous person who sent me your original Fischer story thank you. You have no idea what this has led to.
What I have uncovered goes beyond PVA assessments folks and I will out the findings in the coming days. My investigator friends are already pleased hopefully you will be too.
Stay tuned..........
