I hear what your saying, at least Leibler actually tells the truth. She does'nt have the background, but at least is willing to give it a go. I'm more concerned that she won't know what she's doing either. Not good for my house value. I read the statements from Larry Johnson & was shocked that he's trying to blame others for his own problems. Why do we pay these polititions? In my mind, it's to do the job, they're elected to do. I've read he's spent $156,000 on outside help & is spending $131,000 more for 2007 reappraisal & hiring people too, instead of doing it himself. Yikes!!!! I'd rather have people that know the market locally. I understand that the prior Assessor Steve Miller is running again & did it all in-house w/o spending a ton of dough. He sure has the best experience, track-record, I've read about. So far he looks the best to me too. I'll have to keep an eye out for more info about Steve Miller.

I say give her a shot at it. I just paid part of my taxes a couple of weeks ago. The whole deal is bogus. I did get my hand shook by the assessor last year during the protest. Good grip, like a used car salesman who really knows how to squeeze.

When I read that Steve Miller was going to run for assessor again, I breathed a sigh of relief. Finally we are given the opportunity to get some proven successful experience into an office that's suppose to be advocating for the public without wasting a lot of taxpayers' dollars. If we don't put Steve Miller back into that office again we are going to shoot ourselves in the foot. Please vote for Steve Miller for Assessor.

I'm a Republican too & unfortunately I voted for Johnson in 2002. I thought he was qualified. I guess all those years working Commercial properties as a Deputy Assessor, now he thinks homes should be valued by somebody else, an outside contractor! I've noticed it's always "somebody else" with this guy, the buck never stops with him. After reading his soapbox today & following the paper, I will not support him again, I'm tired of his empty promises and political rhetoric. I'm so glad to actually have a choice this time around.

Johnson has crossed the line - sent campaign contribution envelopes to his employees putting undue pressure on them. It appears to me that is illegal - 'Hatch Act' or Federal Election policies?

It's just one thing after another with this guy, isn't it? It sure sounds & smells fishy to me. He's probably trying to determine who's with him, what a low thing to do to people who work underneath you. Some of these polititians need a "wake-up call" & follow the rules just like everyone else. Good thing we have choices for a new Assessor.

Johnson is NOT fiscally responsible to the taxpayers of Larimer County. Not only can he get his own house value correct, He has to ask a Denver based firm how to value Larimer County. We are a unique county and the appraisal staff knows that. Let them do the job they are paid to do. What a waste of highly trained individuals. Vote the guy OUT!

Johnson and his director of assessment are stooping to low levels. They have ACCUSED an employee of giving something (?) to another candidate for Assessor. Whatever happened to free speech. The present administration in the Assessor's office stinks. They are committing illegalities right and left. We need to speak up. We live in a democracy and have the right to free speech.

It's irrehensible the things I've read about the current Assessor Larry Johnson. Intimidation of employees by the Director of Appraisal where does it end? It's so difficult for employees to speak up & out when this happens. I am so relieved knowing that Steve Miller with his prior experience, integrity & character will be running. I'm definitely showing up at my caucus meeting on March 21st now!
