GET JOHNSON COUNTY BUREAUCRATS OFF OUR BACKS!

Time to cut back the property appraisals that Johnson County uses for property taxes. In some cases I think this may be happening but do assessments reflect the fifteen to twenty percent loss of value in our county's real estate? I doubt it. I ask you, the reader and the Johnson County bureaucracy in all of its expensive glory, "Are assessments really reflecting market value?"

Of course we might be able to get rid of all these precious little cities and have one county-city bureaucracy. It could save a lot of money and allow us to cut back on city and county employees so we can balance the budget.

Screw the so called new prison sales tax. It's a sales tax that sucks and never sunsets. Crime rates are going down and too many people are in prison anyway. Lets stop building a police state in our county. Let's stop it now!
