Did you see yesterday’s paper? Probably not. Saturday’s edition is the least read paper of the week. With readership down from 2008, that means a lot of people are not bothering to read it at all.
Basically, the Property Assessor is patting himself on the back with his puppet Jim Weaver. Weaver is the heir apparent to the Assessor throne in 2016. The problem is Craig Leuthold would like to have the job in 2016. But no one but Shock And Awe have told Leuthold what the Property Assessor and his puppet have in store.
The Property Assessor has an office full of cronies with a few good ones sprinkled in. They were there before he and his crony crew came in to office and they are the ones doing the real work.
So many times the current Assessor has had meetings where the subject of this blog has been a topic, it is so funny.
If you live in the city beware the current assessor is quoted in yesterday’s article as saying property tax will drop 5 or 6 or 7 cents. Hello, his job is to know and he is too inept to know.
Anyway, the appeals to the county board will be entertaining. So stay tuned. This Assessor believes that he can beat Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett next year that he is gathering up his little he man woman haters club from Northeast Knox County to wage a campaign for Mayor.
