Verso Corp. has asked a bankruptcy judge to step in and decide whether the town of Jay, Maine, should hand back as much as $11.4 million in taxes assessed during the past three years, the Bangor (Maine) Daily News reported today. The company’s request comes as Verso has three appeals of its most recent tax bills pending before a state review board and local review boards.

The company’s 2013 tax year appeal is set for a hearing May 9 and 10 before the Maine Board of Property Tax Review in Augusta, Maine. Read more.
