^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 51 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Hi AGAIN everyone, To those above and anyone else, I am now finished testifying, and the Human Rights Investigator's Report must be awaited. She will write a report on whether there was discrimination apparent in the actions of the City's lawyers, during my failed sewer and property tax abatement applications in 1997-1998. I tried to show that the City of Portland lawyers have never shown any effort to educate themselves about Parkinson's Disease, and its impact on one's budget. I stated that I feel I have been mistreated for 7 years, and that the City ought to STOP taxing me $2500/year, unless my financial position changes SUBSTANTIALLY. My annual disability income is $$8250. I explained how they are adversarial, not conciliatory. I broke down crying once, during the fact-finding conference, and I went through two OFF-periods. But I am smiling now. I have the feeling I did very well. Tyrone da-Silva, PCA, stayed late, to help me get through the process. IVAN :-)
