INSANITY!

2. July 2008 by Greg Kelver.

If Einstein was correct that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, then more than a few folks have probably  noticed that Commissioners Hager and Huston apparently have both lost their minds.

Of course in a county that has perfected the art of Punch 10 (now Push 10 Paperless) voting, local taxpayers already know that senseless insanity is the new reality when it comes to local government.

Local attorney Mark Phillips nailed the root of the current property tax reassessment problem. The News-Dispatch reported- 

“This is just government at its worst,” he said. “The taxpayers of La Porte County had a contract shoved down their throats with no bid and no opportunity to be heard. What harm can that be for a government body to hear what taxpayers had to say?”

Less than two years ago, voters finally came to their senses long enough to boot an incumbent and take a shot with Mike Bohacek as the new commissioner.  In my opinion, Mr. Bohacek has pretty much established himself to be the lone voice for reason and common sense on the commission.  Abused Taxpayers can only hope that come November, enough clear thinking voters will head for the polls so the LaPorte County Commissioners may once again have a sensible majority who are looking out for the rights and best interests of the citizens they are supposed to serve instead of acting like the self-serving, two-bit political hacks we have come to expect.
