quote:

La is approaching the office from the outside, as a small businessman, attorney and former community college real estate professor. In 2008, after the financial crisis, La constructed a free legal clinic in Oakland to advise those at risk of losing their homes. During that time, he said he thought the county assessor’s office was not proactive and did not provide adequate resources to property owners who wanted to appeal their properties’ assessments. Ten years later, with Thomsen’s retirement, La joined the race to take his position.

La said the assessor’s office could benefit from an outsider who “understands real-life economics” and that the office lacked this perspective during the Great Recession. La said that in the next economic downturn, he wants a proactive office that treats residents with compassion.

La said he hopes to expand the assessor’s office role and responsibilities beyond its “enumerated duties.” Some of his ideas include advocating for projects to help the homeless population, introducing workshops for residents explaining citizen rights in regard to the assessment appeals process and creating additional offices around the county.

Sounds to me like the standard ambitious democrat using their office to the fullest extent to build a base of support when they run for something higher.

Kind of like how the st louis parking office runs its own educational savings program and partnerships with local credit unions to offer payday loans are relatively low interest rates. It's a springboard for the treasurer, who oversees the parking office, to run for mayor one day.

In Mexico "cuarenta y uno" (41) is slang referring to a homosexual. This is due to the 1901 arrest of 41 homosexuals at a hotel in Mexico City during the government of Porfirio Díaz (1876–1911).

Also, does not the county assessor have the power to assess public property to a low, low price thus letting groups or individuals buy these low priced public properties for easy flipping?

I believe that part is a holdover from Napoleonic code in the Louisiana territory that got grandfathered in in some parts of the West, they don't do that on the east coast

I think it was actually a point made by a coroner in the newest season of Making a Murderer. That was in Wisconsin.

It's funny because I assume the intention of making so many civil positions electable was to make as democratic and accountable a society as possible, but because there's so much money in us politics, it's just made even tiny positions corrupt.

I bet the filing fee scales with the population of the polity, and Almeda County has over a million people in it, so that could maybe do it.
