My taxes up over 50% this year (with no improvements having been done). This is crazy.

Gov. Bob Riley's Press Secretary Jeff Emerson is correct when he says the governor has never issued an "executive order" requiring annual property appraisals. Shortly after Riley took office, his revenue commissioner, Dwight Carlisle, called for annual appraisals. Riley said he supported Carlisle. Riley's current revenue commissioner, Tom Surtees, said the appraisals are based on the state constitution and a federal judge's opinion. Emerson said Riley cannot rescind annual appraisals.
Emerson was reacting to an article on property tax collections in the Aug. 6 edition and to an online poll.
THE DAILY is happy to correct the terminology "executive order" and to add to the record.

Riley lied, our pocketbooks died !
