Letter to the Editor Defends L.A. County Assessor's Office Against Judge Judy's Criticism
A letter to the editor published in the Los Angeles Times criticizes Judge Judy Sheindlin for her recent remarks about the Los Angeles County assessor’s office. The letter, written by Norman H. Green of Los Angeles, refutes Judge Judy's assertion that the office's employees are 'numbnuts' and that it takes two hours to reach them by phone. Green, who has dealt with the assessor’s office for approximately 70 years both personally and professionally, including on property tax matters for airplanes and boats, describes it as 'one of the most professional and competent government departments anywhere.' He cites findings from the 2022-2023 Los Angeles County civil grand jury, on which he served, which praised the coordination and effectiveness of departments involved in property tax administration, including the Assessor’s Office, the Treasurer Tax Collector, and the Auditor-Controller.
