Lifting
the Veil of Secrecy on Jasper
County Public Records
The Jasper County
Magistrate’s name appears often in the Lien and Judgment records of the Clerk’s
Office……. $62,766.62 in total claims of record as of January 27, 2010.
List of Liens for Chief Magistrate Judge Kenneth
Jackson:
FiFa List Jan 2010
Information about judgment
and tax liens being on record against Chief Magistrate Judge Kenneth Jackson
has come to the attention of The Taxpayers’ Watchdog Group, Inc. Sources have told TWG that this information
has not appeared in local credit sheets of Court Records, information routinely
sent to lenders and businesses. Federal
and State Tax Liens have been on record since January of 2002 (IRS) and January
2008 (GA Dept Revenue), well before the last elections for Magistrate.
.
It is remarkable that this
information has been a “secret” from the public so long and yet old records about
a recent candidate in the Special Election for District 3 Commissioner surfaced
publicly right before the run-off. This
whole situation defies reasoning. Is it
ethical or even legal for this type thing to occur?
Usually, garnishments and property levy occurs after
judgment. At this time, it is not confirmed that
collection efforts have been enforced in these liens.
It is no secret that the
Jasper County Clerk of Courts is a very good friend and advocate for the
incumbent Magistrate. The Clerk has
been actively involved in political campaigns in recent years. His lack of impartiality should be cause for
concern for taxpayers. What else lies behind the “Veil of
Secrecy”?
