[quote=CA renter][quote=UCGal]KPBS had a radio story this morning – following up on the articles ER posted.
Apparently PUSD was confused (nice term) when asked about the misused mello-roos funds. Different officials had different (conflicting) stories/explanations.
In a related story on the website – there’s been so much bru-ha-ha over the overpayment of mello roos by folks in Del Sur, they have posted a website to verify your mello roos amounts.
“Property owners who have been overcharged are eligible for a refund going back one year.”

That’s total BS. Those homeowners should be able to get back every single dollar that they’ve overpaid over the years.
Glad to see they are following up on this. Thanks for sharing, UCGal.[/quote]
I totally agree. You can bet if they overcharged me, I’d make sure I got back every single penny WITH interest. One year? Ha!

Thanks for posting this. I’ll have to go check it out. Actually I’m not so worried about the “accidental over charges” as I do think they were accidents. What I’m MORE worried about is the potential fraud and abuse of the CFD funds and not being used for their stated/original goals. Or at the very least what they are legally allowable to be used for.
I’m DARN glad to see on my most recent property tax bill that came out this weekend that ALL CFD’s are forever OFF my bill and I’m not liable for them any more. It’s a great feeling especially after reading shenanigan after shenanigan and clear examples of PUSD getting busted for NOT using CFD taxes as they are legally allowed.
Some of this is like pure comedy! Only it’s OUR tax dollars so it’s not funny.
