In a shocking move, the Town Board of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, decided not to pursue its case against C. Oliver Iselin before the Court of Appeals. The Board believes that the courts are failing to uphold the Assessors’ decisions to increase property values in the county. This move is seen as a victory for Iselin, who had been fighting a reduction in his property assessment from $165,000 to $100,000. The Board’s decision to drop the case has ultimately cost the town over $1,000, leaving many to wonder if the expensive battle was worth the fight.
