NANCY PELOSI AND TRAVIS CHILDERS
Earlier this month, over Republican objections, she shut down the House of Representatives and went on a month-long book selling tour. The Democrats, under Ms. Pelosi’s leadership, have repeatedly blocked efforts to formulate an energy bill, and we can all attest to how much the price of gasoline has increased under her leadership.

Gas prices have reached record highs, while Congress’s popularity has plummeted to record lows. Congress’s approval rating is even lower than George W. Bush’s.

Apparently the pressure is getting to Pelosi, as she recently said she might “let” the House vote on a “comprehensive” energy bill. Normally “comprehensive” is a very good term, but we are wary of her use of it. To her, the word “comprehensive” will likely mean loading a so-called energy bill with lots of giveaways and unprecedented taxpayer burdens.

Mississippians would do themselves a great service to remember that Pelosi is one of the top leaders of the same political party as Ronnie Musgrove and Travis Childers, both of whom will be on the ballot this fall. Both of whom, no matter how they talk at home, will ultimately have to answer to the commands of the national Democratic party.

Questions concerning the hired Tax Assesor

August 21st, 2008

by Barney

I received this late last evening one of our readers and a close freind asked these questions of the supervisors in reference to them hiring someone to do our tax and property assesment ,this means that this gentleman will be the person that decides what you pay in taxes ,According to my freind one of the supervisors advised him that they didnt have the time to discuss this with him in a open supervisors meeting and I personally would have to wonder where it is supposed to be discussed if not at a regular meeting of the supervisors ,I think maybe others should be asking these same questions and insisting that they get answers ….

1…
How or why did the supervisors become involved in hiring a person to perform the job of state mandated appraisials when in fact it is the job of the county tax office to perform this job

2…
Who is Mr Neil Parsons,

3..
What credentials does he have to do the job he has been hired to do

4…
What makes him qualified to reapraise our county taxes

5…
How can Prentiss county citizens be assured that the appraisals are correct if they are not done by our elected tax assesor

6…
What is his rate of pay

7…
Will he also be furnished a county vehicle to perform his job

8…
Will he be given a fuel allowance

9…
Who will ok his expenditures

10…

Why do the Supervisors think they would know more than the tax assesors office when hiring someone to appraise taxes in our county are they qualified in the feild of tax assesment

11…

Since he will be doing a job concerning taxes will Mr Parsons be working for and with the tax office

12…

How long will Mr Parsons be employed at the sum he is at now (50 thousand) is he contractual and when will his contract end

13…

****** Who was hired as Mr Parsons part time help *******

14…

At what rate of pay is the part time help payed

15..

What are the part time helps credentials and qualifications

16…

How long will the part time help be working for the citizens of Prentiss County

Prentiss County Appraisals

July 15th, 2008

by pcadmin

This was sent to me from someone wishing to remain anonymous:

I wonder if anyone noticed in this week’s Banner-Independent where the board of supervisors has hired their own appraiser at a salary of $50,000 per year to help carry out the mandated reappraisal which must be completed by next year. Shouldn’t the reappraisal be a job within the tax assessor’s office? Tax assessor Steve Eaton is against the supervisors doing this and has said he will not be responsible for the final reappraisal results. Neil Parsons is the person hired to do the reappraisal. Since he answers directly to the board of supervisors who hired him, would this not be a conflict of interest since property is taxed on its assessed value? - And since the supervisors are the ones who raise the taxes. Isn’t their credibility already low enough without asking the people of Prentiss County to trust them to see that their property is appraised fairly and taxed fairly? We have already seen the supervisors in eminent domain action against Ruben Chapel Church and we have seen them cut the D.A.R.E. program due to “lack of funds” yet they quickly found enough to give themselves a raise at the first meeting of the new administration. In other words, “after the election”. We have seen them refuse to fully fund the sheriff’s department, leaving the county without adequate law enforcement personnel.

In the past, one supervisor refused to take a DUI breathalyzer even though he was stopped while driving a county vehicle. Wonder if the insurance rate went up because of it? The board of supervisor’s long-time attorney, who got the supervisor out of that issue, recently pled guilty to attempting to bribe a judge and is awaiting sentencing. Another supervisor made his own driveway a public road so the county could maintain it but that action was later rescinded when it began to get publicity.

But back to the reappraisal: In other words, could someone who has angered or opposed the board of supervisors have their property assessed to the maximum since they have their own, personal appraiser? They are a nasty, vindictive bunch, all except one anyway. Cross them and see what happens. Why do the supervisors have their fingers in this reappraisal ‘pie’ anyway? Supposedly to save money so they can give themselves another raise, in my opinion. Could it be because if properties are appraised higher, then owners would pay more taxes and they wouldn’t have to raise the taxes themselves, which is VERY unpopular to prospective voters. Think about it! And also, once the assessed valuation of the county reaches a certain plateau, then the supervisors would be eligible for another raise. Assessed valuation is based on property appraisals. I wonder if their true motive is to get the assessed valuation up so they can get a raise and so they won’t have to raise taxes themselves. - killing two birds with one stone.
