Move it Over, and over, and over

Looks like DuWayane Hammond, Jr, a long-time, corrupt former member of the Idaho Tax Commission, just slid over a bit to a job at the finance department in Boise when he exited from the ITC.

Sure looks like a cozy political deal, doncha' think?

Anyway it seems as if he is giving out bad information to callers who want to submit a proposal to the all white, male, politically appointed stimulus committee.

Just this last Saturday, 7 March, the Spokesman Review ran a story about on how the governor was going to have to "hold his nose" and accept stimulus funding....

When this news story was mentioned to DuWayne, he hung up on a caller.

Other than the fact that he hung up on the caller he was described as "rude, defensive and at best a very poor public official, and that was after we fought to find out who would help us find out anything at all about the process...."(oh yes, it's the Idaho Way)

Congressman Minnick's office advised that they were aware of NO deadlines except for 'shovel ready projects'....

Gee, wouldn't it be nice to get a good news report about tax commissioners? I guess we can't hold our breath, but it sure seems as if we still need to hold our noses!

Stay tuned for the latest

Well you see the ITC has a Q & A service you can contact through their web site called "taxrep". I was curious about something so last night I sent a query to taxrep.

Here is what "taxrep" replied late this afternoon: "Nonprofit organizations are exempt from income taxes".

Were Carolyn Hartmann, Clare Cunningham, Amy Brown, Linda Pike, DuWayne Hammond, Larry Watson, Colleen Grant or Sam Haws listening during the last three years? 2002-2005

and then along came Wilson, Nathan Wilson that is, who picked up on the same unverified theme and continued to make outrageous claims that there was NO 501c3 organization because he "could not find it listed on the IRS website".

I had to write Nathan a letter and explain to him that Congressman Butch Otter has just helped me with an issue about an incorrect address for the 501c3 (since 1989) and the IRS promptly corected it.

By the way, Congressman Otter's office suggested I go to the governor's office but I had to expalin that the governor's office refused to act on it, which in itself is very telling. I'll be posting more about this.

I went to the IRS website and found the listing in less than two minutes.

It's these gestapo tactics that really get to me.....

Answer this please

,
Why is it that DuWayne Hammond, Larry Watson, Severina Haws and Colleen Grant believe they are not required to follow the law?

Why is it that DuWayne Hammond stated in correspondence that Carolyn Hartman, an employee of the ITC who lied under oath in an administrative hearing did nothing wrong?

Larry Watson, remember the DUI he got and went begging to the governor in repentance? Why is it that Larry did not see anything wrong with another ITC employee, Linda Pike, an attorney, allow an in-force protection order be violated, putting a person at risk for extreme harm, because their name and (sealed) address was placed on the internet. MMMM, just how private is the ITC privacy policy?

And What about Colleen Grant who does not think it is harassment for the ITC to demand tax returns from a person who is not an Idaho resident? Maybe it is the behind the scenes operation they run that they don't want you to see. By the way, I had to send Grant an entire page defining harassment so that she understood what the law has to say about it.

And then there is Sam Haws who did not read a very important piece of correspondence asking some specific questions about the activities of the ITC that violate the Idaho Code and Administrative Procedures Act.

I am sure there will be more to show the lack of responsiveness to the law and to the citizens.

Remember now commissioners, citizens are those people you are sworn to serve.
