Dear Michelle,
A quick reminder that I'm still waiting for this clarification from the tax assessor on the information she gave regarding commercial tax abatements:

Ms. Kennedy,
Renee said that she could give you that information over the phone and asked that you give her a call. She will be in till 1:00 - 732-291-1444 x3109

Dear Michelle,
I'm curious why this information cannot be provided via email. The data were provided via email, so the definitions of the data items shouldn't be considered confidential.
Also, since the tax assessor's hours are so limited, it will be difficult for me to reach her by phone. Is there anyone else in the municipal offices who understands the meaning of these column headers?
Sincerely,
Shelly Kennedy
Ms. Kennedy,
Nothing confidential to the definitions, Renee just felt she could explain it over the phone. I will send her your email information and she will be in touch.
Michelle
Dear Michelle,
Thanks for forwarding my request. Please make sure she has my email. If she’s already sent to me the definitions of those column headers, I haven’t seen it and may have missed it. I’m traveling this week but still would like a response.
Please email me at [email address] .
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Shelly Kennedy
