I once went home with a girl with such poor eyesight.
(this is the part where y'all say, "how poor was she")

She was so poor....

...now wait just one minute, y'all just stole my joke from me.”

“The funny thing is...
she was so poor sighted, she actually came home with me, eh.
Ain't that right baby, ain't that right.”

VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — A house erroneously valued at $400 million is being blamed for budget shortfalls and possible layoffs in municipalities and school districts in northwest Indiana.

An outside user of Porter County's computer system may have triggered the mess by accidentally changing the value of the Valparaiso house, said Sharon Lippens, director of the county's information technologies and service department. The house had been valued at $121,900 before the glitch.

County Treasurer Jim Murphy said the home usually carried about $1,500 in property taxes; this year, it was billed $8 million.

The homeowner, Dennis Charnetzky, declined to comment about the situation to The Associated Press on Friday.

Lippens said her agency identified the mistake and told the county auditor's office how to correct it. But the $400 million value ended up on documents that were used to calculate tax rates.

Most local officials did not learn about the mistake until Tuesday, when 18 government-taxing units were asked to return a total of $3.1 million of tax money. The city of Valparaiso and the Valparaiso Community School Corp. were asked to return $2.7 million. As a result, the school system has a $200,000 budget shortfall, and the city loses $900,000.

Officials struggled to figure out how the mistake got into the system and how it could have been prevented. City leaders said Thursday the error could cause layoffs and cost-cutting measures.

Lippens said the outside user changed the property value, most likely while trying to access another program while using the county's enhanced access system, which charges users a fee for access to public records that are not otherwise available on the Internet.

Lippens said the user probably tried to access a real estate record display by pressing R-E-D, but accidentally typed R-E-R, which brought up an assessment program written in 1995. The program is no longer in use, and technology officials did not know it could be accessed.

The county treasurer said his office spotted the $400 million error after it caused an improper billing, but apparently it wasn't corrected elsewhere.

"It didn't get fixed all the way," Murphy said.



Fifth story”

“I don't see how they can blaim it all on one erroneous keystroke. And how did the government agencies manage to spend that excess allotment so quickly?”

“a one Story FRAME house at $121,900?

Damn the North Ya'll come south where Houses are BRICK and Two Story for that price!......”

“What's this, a southerner inviting all us Yankees to move on down?”

“SUUUURE...come on down, tell us how to do it right.”

“you no what happened last time We moved down there just kidding”

“"And how did the government agencies manage to spend that excess allotment so quickly?"

You're kidding, right???”

“Well it says they're being asked to return money, and now they're going to have a huge budget shortfall. My figuring is if they hadn't spent it, giving it back wouldn't be an issue, especially since the money never existed in the first place. Only thing I figure is they started on a spending spree in anticipation of getting the money.”
