I'm sure it's embarrassing to some people to have their names listed as owing taxes. But it's our duty to do everything in our powers to collect the taxes.

There has to be a way to have Medicaid relief without taxes being involved. I would love to see the General Assembly look at their budget the same way we look at ours, and live within their means.

The payment of taxes is an obvious and insistent duty, and its sanction is usually punitive.

It tells me that he'll be obligated to big business and special interests.

I think that decision has basically been made.

The toughest for us is always the schools and the sheriff. Those are the two really tough ones because they're the biggest part of the budget.
