The Whiskey Rebellion was an armed insurrection in western Pennsylvania in 1794. Farmers rebelled to protest a federal excise tax on whiskey enacted by Congress in 1791.
I am not calling for an armed insurrection for all of the snowflakes out there. Although, as many of you know, our founding fathers were labeled treasonous and insurrectionists by ole King George. I truly believe you must call out public officials and hold them accountable because, folks, we pay them. Speaking of public officials with egg on their faces…
Madison Countys Tax administrator Diana Norton has turned in her notice…
Good, now Madison County can hire a competent Tax administrator. This is the most critical job in Madison.
Instead of following Matt Wechtel – Michael Garrison’s philosophy of growing government by adding inept employees to the payroll.
Go out and find a real contender, not someone from here. These two commissioners remind me of kids who play marbles.
They want as many marbles as they can get, but in the end, none of their marbles are worth anything. The Tax Department has salaries of $294,567 distributed among nine employees.
This is pathetic, and why this reevaluation is so screwed up. The Tax department should be operated professionally not like a Harley Rally.
The County needs to get rid of some of the useless employees like Brad Guth and Donny Laws, and some of the troublemakers working in the transportation department.
All employees hired on grants need to leave after the grant runs out, and any current employees whose salaries went up during the grant period need to adjust back to the former rate.
If you remove the dead wood the county will prosper.
How does Madison County continue with this charade of the 2024 Tax reevaluation without a tax administrator? Are you going to use one of the other Tax department employees? They are not qualified -well, neither was Diana Norton. You can’t have anyone in this position who will show favoritism to their friends and relatives.
I have found huge discrepancies in the tax office’s classifications of land lots and foreclosures. More is coming on all of this later, but take a look at this foreclosure below. I don’t know this person, but as I was researching, this stuck out to me.
Two delinquencies yet -Norton files for Foreclosure with Kania Law firm for collection.
Now review the same taxpayer below and notice this person actually made a payment in 2022 while delinquent.
I know for fact that Diana Norton has a personal friend who has outstanding tax debt in three years from 2019-2023 and has been paying on two of the years except for 2020. This person is not under foreclosure and is also a personal friend of Rod Honeycutt.
The woman above who owns the property under foreclosure is from Florida. Is she being discriminated against because she is not from here?
Is someone exerting undue influence to force this property into premature foreclosure…
This is just the tip of the iceberg for the county tax department. As long as I am on the subject of Icebergs, another one has sunk regarding the Ricky Houston scandal.
Ryan Houston’s violent past detailed in court records, pending trials (msn.com)
Remember, he was the piece of fugitive dung who killed Chief Boone driving in the wrong direction. As reported by the Asheville Citizen Times and WLOS -Houston’s GPS monitor pinged 240 times that Houston violated the area boundary limits.
The woman who was his pretrial release coordinator has stepped down. She was having an affair with Houston. Was she the one notified about the GPS monitor?
The fact that this monster was even able to roam the streets after shooting a deputy outside a magistrate’s office in Buncombe County is disturbing.
I still can’t get past the time it took for emergency personnel to arrive on the scene after these two vehicles burst into flames at the exit. Seven to ten minutes is a long time. WLOS reported this.
It had to be noticed immediately because an Exxon station was off the ramp. Maybe because the coppers were down at the Barnardsville exit they were seen at 10 PM stopping vehicles. Chief Boone’s accident happened at 11 PM.
Did they know this dangerous fugitive was in the vicinity?
If so, why didn’t Law enforcement shut down the Interstate? They have shut down the Interstate for much less in the past.
Folks, there are a lot of questions about this, and there needs to be some answers. -CH
