Has the Tax Assessor's Judgement Become Impaired?

At the County Commission Meeting Monday a behavior was publicly exhibited by the County Tax Assessor, Mr. Steve McGill, that has many shaking their heads and wondering if it was a matter of poor judgement or something more serious.
It seems Mr. McGill took extreme exception to the idea being discussed by Commissioners concerning compliance with the Financial Management Act and having the fee offices turn their fees into the general fund with dispersal made by the Financial Management Office.
Mr. McGill, whose office was unaffected apparently decided that he would challenge Commissioner Reedy with the very unseemly slur, "did God come to you in a vision and tell you to do this"? Mr. McGill, who seems to have an ever present Sundrop bottle, a disheveled look and blurry eyes, has shown such behavior before toward Commissioners. He was called down three times by the County Executive before he would sit down and be quiet.

When Mr. McGill was reprimanded for a Driving Under the Influence charge he was warned that such behavior would not be tolerated in the future. The question now arises, in light of this recent activity, as to whether it's appropriate for Mr. McGill to continue as a representative of county government?

What Happened?

A few weeks ago after another dirty deal, this time by the Equalization Board I decided that I would just withdraw from any active role in Giles County politics. I had even started looking for someone to take control of the blog. I was so disgusted with the way things are and the complacent attitude of so many of the sheep awaiting their turn to be sheared I just had enough. I even stopped attending committee meetings and stopped posting on the blog I was so fed up. I was finished, the political thugs had won. Then comes this frivolous lawsuit and I'm pulled back into the fray. "Let sleeping dogs lay" should have been followed.
While I can't comment directly on baseless lawsuits I will say opening that can of worms is going to entangle some very important people and bring up some mighty interesting questions under oath.
