To the Editor:

The accusation by the Little Egg Harbor tax assessor (“Watch the Watchdogs,” 2/15) that I gave out misinformation needs further examination. A review of the assessor’s letter leaves one confused as to the point that he is attempting to make and the realreason why he felt compelled to make it.

The assessor stated that the actual loss in ratables as a result of Superstorm Sandy was $52,984,700, not the $540 million that has been quoted in most media including the Press of Atlantic City.
