CITY AND COUNTY
OFFICIALS STILL OWE
PROPERTY TAXES
If County and City
are facing such a fiscal crisis why haven’t these people paid their taxes? They are busy spending our money, but they
aren’t paying their share.
County Officials:
Commissioner Chair Carl Pennamon owes 2008 property taxes of
$1239.46. At the swearing in ceremony he affirmed he didn’t owe any
monies.
Former Commissioner Bob Yarbrough still owes 2007 boat taxes
of $188.01.
Financial staff, HR Officer, Sharon Robinson owes 3 years
of property taxes--2006 for $682.33, 2007 for $774.58, and 2008 for $609.70. This totals $2066.61.
Why do the Commissioners allow employees to be paid with our
tax dollars when the employees aren’t paying their own taxes? Garnishments might be considered.
City Officials:
Councilman Bryan Standifer owes 2008 property taxes on four
houses. The total amount of those 4
hours is $3997.79
City Councilwoman Molly Pompey owes 2008 property taxes of
$415.21
Remember the big 900 acre rezoning so
property could be developed off Highway 11 N?
Property owner William Blincoe still owes 2007 taxes of $19,039.87. He owed property taxes of more than this when
the BOC allowed the land to be rezoned.
Now in addition, Mr. Blincoe also owes 2008 property taxes of $23,157.13. Total amount owed $42,197.00.
Everyone has to pay more when some don’t pay their share. Elected officials should set the standard.
