[OMS_MANAGERS] EID Question

[Tracy Brown]

Actually, the EID fails if property owners representing 33 percent or more
of the total assessment amount remonstrate.  Take a look at the statute
beginning at ORS 223.112  http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/223.112.  Depending
on your assessment method, owners of large properties can easily kill it.
