David Silipigno Stood Up Against The City's

Assessment
David Silipigno is a reputed entrepreneur who was recently in news for
raising voice against the overstated evaluation indicted to him by the
city for his residence at Saratoga. The City alleged him two times the
total amount of real assessment of his 20, 800 sq ft home at 36 Stony
Brook Drive. As per the city's evaluation, David's residence was
evaluated at the value of $9.3 Million for which he had to disburse
taxes on $7.6 Million.
David made his mind to stand up against the city's evaluation and
claimed that he was actually charged with double amount. The city was
conscious of the outcomes of this case and on account of this it did not
want David to bring this case in the front of judge and for this reason, he
had to face a lot of criticism.
With a motive to solve the case of David, the city council voted on
20th July and chose Mayor Scott Johnson who evaluated the residence
at $4.4 million for which he had to pay taxes on $3.6 million. Later on,
the city settled on less than half of original evaluation, which was
clearly the result of the action David took against the city. This
property case not just gave justice to Silipigno, but also encouraged
others going through similar situations to stand up against the city.
While speaking in an interview, David Silipigno told that the
commissioner did not show any interest in solving the case; instead he
was stressing more on the required paper work. He also stated that this
was just an attempt of the city to collect money, which was ultimately
not successful. The reports say that the city will be paying David
Silipigno the amount of $180, 000 in credit and repayment.
