CHARLES TOWN – For the seventh straight year, state officials have found deficiencies in the way the Jefferson County assessor’s office runs its operations. None of the state’s other 54 counties has been found to have such problems for so long.

Ok, so let me get this straight…Jefferson County is supposed to be one of the most advanced counties but our assessor’s office has had deficiencies for the last 7 years? Now, not only do they have to file a report (more tax dollars spent) but Ms. Banks has to appear before the committee (probably more tax dollars spent for her travel) and out children could suffer because the schools could lose state funding? Why is it that Sheriff Shirley is being prosecuted for DOING his job but Ms. Banks is not being held to task for NOT DOING hers? As a taxpayer, I am beyond disgusted!
