WOW a licensed appraiser for Assessor instead of a Good ol boy farmer!!! Wonder what is he going to do with the boys in there that is always talking with thier feet up drawing a paycheck. I know of people that would actually work for a paycheck insead of sitting around talking with James with thier feet up.

Something new in Taney County, a qualified candidate with knowledge in the field he is running for. Now if we could find and accountant for Auditor instead of a math teacher we might get a budget we can live with. Got to feel sorry for Mr. Jackson though, little does he know the mess he is getting into from the results of good ole boy politics for so many years. Imagine the shock when he finds farmland valued at $16 an acre, some median residence property at $6.25 a sq ft and major down town Branson business at $3.50 a sq ft. They are going to be some mighty mad folks when they have to start paying for the real value of their property and one of the boys is not there to fix it for them. Good luck Mr. Jackson, so far you have my vote.
