  2. It's not just Black and Hispanic residents being fucked over either. It is also the middle class and working class being fucked over also.

    Actually Jackson County should get a new slogan.


    Fucking People Over Daily would be excellent.

  3. Time to scrap the Jackson County "experiment" that has put too much power in one person's hands. Eliminate the county executive position. The Assessor and Collector need to be elected officials. Right now they are political appointees who can suck at their jobs, but keep their jobs just as long as they suck up to the county executive. They need to be directly accountable to the voters instead.

    But they left out one bullet point: "Homeowners and businesses should apply for a property tax exemption by claiming but for their property, the entire area would be blighted. Hey, it worked for us!"
