Chip Wood on St. Louis County Property Assessment

County officials rig property values

Our irresponsible St. Louis County officials have been inflating the value of our homes. Even when property values finally crashed, county officials kept increasing values in order to fund irresponsible spending. This money has gone to the county, municipalities, school districts, fire districts to fund padded payrolls, excessive pensions and other vote buying schemes. Even as the taxpayers are driven into bankruptcy taxes continue to crank up.

In an effort to stem the tide of easy money to the County, citizens passed a referendum changing the way the property assessor is appointed to office. Instead of being an employee of the county the assessor is now elected by the citizens, taking political pressure off of the Assessors Office.

The County needs an Assessor who can provide citizens with a accurate assessment of their homes. L.K. "Chip" Wood can provide the experience and needed to make this happen. For more information go to: http://www.chipwoodforassessor.com/index1.html
