Mayor Nutter Defends New AVI Property Assessments

CBS Philly reports: “Some elected officials in Philadelphia say the new citywide property assessments are full of inaccuracies, but today Mayor Nutter strongly defended the figures.In recent days both city controller Alan Butkovitz and councilman Mark Squilla have claimed that inaccuracies in the AVI assessments exceed the industry-accepted margin of error. But Mayor Nutter begs to differ.“Some of the information that the controller has put out is just inaccurate and wrong,” the mayor said today. “I think it is unfortunate if it is being done in an effort to just scare the hell out of people.”
