Have my first traffic citation. Spoke to Daniel from the traffic department for questions and advice. She was very helpful and patient.

This courthouse will put people behind bars going against what they sworn n to do. The judges they have sit n those benches are very racial. They will put anyone behind bars due to being reelected. But one day they all have to stand n GOD judgement we know that their gods children as well but the bible says everyone will have to pay for the deeds that were done n this mortal body. Any time a judge says because of where you one from knowing that person comes from how can a prosecutor say your worried about your future an you want to take some one down because you want to be reelected

I went there once to pay tax. It was a lovely old building. I have seen a vast Elk horn attached to the wall. Beautiful!

So the tax office screwed up and everyones property taxes went sky high ("But this year, Cousins made a mistake and set everyone's values below the state’s minimum") Time to replace Cousins or make her cover the difference in everyone's property taxes 🤷
