"The assessor's office has made great strides in becoming more taxpayer friendly. Several months ago, we installed a taxpayer comment box outside the office"

Wait, really? Thats the only positive "great" strides that they can come up with? Didn't realize that putting up a box with a lock on it was considered a great stride now. Yeah way to go Dziedzic, thank you for figuring out locking mechanisms.

The other site says Dodd refused to step down. Which is right?

What is really causing this power struggle? I realize we are deep into Good ol Boy politics here but I thought the assessors were doing a good job. Every contact I have had with them has been positive Who's Wheaties did they relieve themselves in? What's the whole story here?

Incompetent crooks, the entire lot.

But the straw that breaks the camel's back in very near. With no new industry to increase the tax base or provide jobs, the stupid local government just can't seem to live within it's means.

But the day of reckoning is fast approaching, and local government will be the first to feel the wrath of a people overtaxed and under served.

Expect us.

Good for you Lisa. You hold your ground. It is not supposed to work where outside people can influence the board or make people quit. It is supposed to take a judge.

It's a shame Dodd is quitting.

This all from pressure by a few people who have pushed people to toss you all out. They want the old system back where special people get special breaks and the rest of us get stuck making up the difference.

So far I haven't heard any specifics of why the Board of Commissioners is so unhappy with the Tax Assessors. Did I miss Something?

Maybe Lamar County needs a little 'transparency' in an open meeting with the Tax Assessors to iron out their greivances.
If they have done something worthy of kicking them out, I am all for it. But wouldn't everyone like to know the real reason? I don't
like to judge without facts.

Tax Assessors have a very unpopular job, but they don't charge the taxes.

Thank you Lisa.

Now, just why are we letting the board of commissioners have so much control here???
