So get this - Miriam Johnson steps out. Leaving her #2 in charge. The reason? She wanted her number 2 to have the job and run for office thinking that nobody would run her. You know - embraced by the Democrats.From KFDM Channel 6, posted on March 25, 2010:
Now a special election will be called and her #2 will run for office. We will out her when she files.
Johnson will retire, effective March 31. An assistant in the county judge's office told KFDM News there'll be a special meeting of Commissioners Court April 1 to consider appointing Susie James the Tax Assessor-Collector. James has served as Johnson's chief deputy. Johnson was Internal Auditor in the Tax Office from 1984-1989; Chief Deputy from 1990-1995; and Tax Assessor-Collector from 1995 until now.From the Beaumont Enterprise, posted on April 1, 2010:
Susie James is Jefferson County's new tax assessor-collector.Klein plays the race card:
Jefferson County Commissioners appointed James to the position at a special meeting Thursday. James, who has worked in the office for 29 years and most recently served as chief deputy, replaces Miriam K. Johnson, who had held the job since 1985.
If the black community puts up a candidate she is D O N E. Well it seems the democrats are worried that if the party goes fraction - then the white semi conservative swing voters might vote in the general to a GOP candidate.Does anyone seriously believe that a Jefferson County Democrat would reveal inside information to Philip R. Klein?
Not content with the race card, Klein plays the whole deck:
Here is the gig - if (IF) the fight for the heart and soul of Jefferson County has started. And it is not from the GOP - it is started from the black community. The minority community makes up the majority as white flight continues in the county.Reader will note that Philip no longer refers to the "heart and sole [sic]" of Jefferson County. Who said you can't teach an idiot new tricks?

I wonder if Klein knows that the position of Tax Assessor-Collector is personally liable for ALL monies collected by that office. State mandated rules and restrictions apply to almost every facet of the tax office. Klein hasn't a clue!
