HI CAMILLA - are you John le Carre??  I am Vox Clamantis in  Deserto!
Thankx for trying to sort things out. I JUST read your message...here are
my responses,
"mom!"

Not true.. a reduction has been talked about, only with unacceptable
conditions...there is no agreement
..and the failed negotiations are for taxes to be assessed, not at all on
tax liens.due now....

>>--that he also has an atty. in Maine who will help him

There would be my Chanukah wish!    Alas, no, Camilla, I have only talked
to one who MIGHT, after the Human RIghts case ends, if I cna produce
substantial upfront legal fees,
take a court case against the City Lawyers--but I'm hoping the human
rights COmmissioners
vote on Dec. `13  will be in my favor, and then, I could obtain a fair
settlement about taxes and also
about tax liens, so I am watching and waiting til then.
