“The Assessor’s Office is nothing more than a slush fund”

Wow!

“The Assessor’s Office is nothing more than a slush fund for the politically powerful in the state,” he said. It’s in the power brokers’ interest to have the assessor increase property values so tax revenues go up without a public vote to raise the tax rates, he observed. Residents pay more, but the elected officials look like the good guys touting “no tax increases.”

No wonder they ran him out of office.
