After doing some digging, I found out that the total costs of defending the taxpayers against the assessment lawsuit as of the middle of this month were approaching $7000. For a county where the taxpayers have to watch every dime, this is not insignificant.
What total will be enough before Mr. Chester is done with us? $10,000? $20,000? Its not hard to see that if this drags out through next year that the totals will reach that and and much more.
