Dear Mad Taxpayer,,
The Technology Fund is derived from a portion of each fine which is charged on a Class C misdemeanor, not from property taxes. The people who break the law are paying for those computers.
They can spend 2600 dollars in computers but can’t spend any money fixing the drainage on my road
I have complained to the road department they told me to go the commissioners
I did that too to.no avail
Every time we get heavy rains my house gets flooded because the county refuses to do its job and take care of the drainage
Road department made me put in 18 inch culvert on the high end where I’m at and downstream the culvert are 10 12 an even as small as 8 in
You are supposed to get larger not smaller down stream
The commissioners only care about the people that donate money to them and their reelection
I’m tired of my home and land flooding because they refuse to allocate funds to fix the drainage
I pay my tax s and I want them to.pony up the money and fix the drainage
Commissioner Hannah told me that I should buy the culvert for my neibors that he would do it to stop flooding on his property so I’m holding him to his words
Put your money where your mouth is he said it during a court meeting so his comments are on record for all to see
Why do JP’s need the top of the line Microsoft computers? I don’t care what fund it came out of, it all comes from the taxpayers pockets. This action was an insult to every overburdened taxpayer in this county.
