More than 100 tax bills that were mailed last week have an incorrect fire fee, charging some residents $150 instead of the correct $50 fee for their property.

Fire fee is a joke anyway. Keep it up and look deeper, I'm sure they can find some other joke to add to our property taxes - as if they aren't high enough as it is.

I am from Connecticut where they would raise taxes EVERY year. I will try to explain this the easiest way I know how. When they raise taxes your tax bill gets higher. In you case your taxes increased by $350. You people amuse me. $350 oh my?! Do you have to sell the farm now? If you do I have a good agent.
My parents live in Pike County, I was raised there. They live on social security. Why don't you give them the additionl $350 to help them out or even the fire fee of $50 makes a huge difference on a small income. Get outside the box Connecticut. Everybody doesn't have a silver spoon.
there are planes, trains and buses headed to connecticut on a constant basis. if you don't like how we do things here then please find your way back home.
this is precisely what is wrong with pc now. all these carpet baggers (you younger folks can look that up on your own) coming here buying land cheap then telling us we need more services and more spending by our government.
if you like pc and you want it to stay the way it is then welcome home. if you want to change it GO HOME!!
Taxes being raised are a fact of life. Why cry about it. One thing I don know is there is always some place cheaper to go. I know a lot of people who go to Alabama to avoid high taxes. I know when I go shopping everything keeps costing more and more. How is the city and county supposed to deal with the same problem with out more money. Pike County likes its bedroom community. With no real players in the game like WalMart where is the money going to come from? The people in the bedroom, where else? And as far as the spoon it was a hand me down made from stainless steel.
I had a run in with a deputy on the pike sheriff department. He was telling me that WalMart wanted to build here. I do not see why he would lie about something like that. But if they did want to build here do you think Pike would let them? Heck even my wife is against it. It would just save a lot on gas and tires not to have to drive so far to get to a real store.
This is the same old dummy who never has any insight about anything. Stick around, you might learn something.

I got friends in low places

Oh, I am not staying. I just came down to participate in a Civil War re-enactment. Dont worry I will leave everything the same. I know how confused you all were when the VCR came out. I dont want to make it any more confusing for you. Wonder how long you all stayed mad when they put them traffic lights in town. I heard they had to write "Go" on the green light and "Stop" on the red. But see you all figured out it was for the best. It just took a little while. And yes it took tax money to do that also. But I guess if I was on the losing side of the American tax game I would be mad too. But what you do not realize is people in high places make out like a bandit!
I guess the reason the guy from Connecticutt is down here is they ran out of room in a state that is about 5,000 square mile in area...or he left because the tax rate & cost of living was too high up there......or the milder winters here....or the friendlier people?????
Do you think the extra taxes collected were to be used to pay a $1600 a month salary? Will the salary still be paid after the commission cut $57,000 from the budget?
After looking at those 10 Commandments that Shelia lady put on here I realized something. Me saying you have words of wisdom, insight, intellect, and inspiration to others,is all lies. I can no longer bear false witness.The truth shall set me free!
See, now I am hurt. I have such a high opinion of you. You got me and my buddies cracking up over here! The only thing you have taught me is that you will never win an argument with an idiot. So I guess it holds true, you can learn something from anybody. I am sure you have made many tired trying to educate you Rob Roy. A man that knows more than a history book? You got me. Heck, I would not even have responded if it wasnt for the laughter you bring with your responses. 5 hour energy? You must be a young lad. It was pure powder in my generation. Maybe if you double up on those 5 hour energy things you will get enough motivation to crack open a book. And if you learn reading comprehension you will really be the man. Can you find ANY book the says the Sabbath is on Sunday. Thats how a true debate works. I bring all the information I have and than you debate with yours. Kind of like in the courtroom. You got me laughing again now. You sound like the type of person who even knows more than a lawyer and chooses to represent himself. So in that case you would be blogging from a correctional institution right now. You are a trip. Thanks for the laugh I really needed it today.
The Bible states the 7th day is the sabbath. Man is who says saturday is the 7th day. Research and you will find saturday is named after saturn (the 6th planet from the sun), which is satan's planet. There is a reason our work week starts on monday (the moon) and ends on sunday( the sun). It seems to me the main ones who claim saturday is the sabbath also deny Jesus Christ. John writes in his first epistle that he who denys Christ is a liar. Why would you believe them?
What books are you researching in? This sounds interesting. I just want to have a look myself. People were keeping the Sabbath holy long before Jesus. Its the Christians that distorted this Commandment. But not all of them. The only people who deny Jesus are the ones that do not honor this Commandment.
Holy cow. Check this guy out. Thanks for the laugh. God said "let there be light" and Satan turned the sun on. The only effect Satan has in this blog is the effect on your brain. Now this Sheila lady is back with more real facts? I think you need to read them. Next time you speak on the subject you wont sound like such a RobRoy if you can remember them. If you are wondering what a RobRoy is it is a word we use in the shop now to replace idiot and words of the same meaning. We think it sounds a lot nicer. Plus when customers or visitors come in they wont be offended. Unless of course they know him!
It was the Jews who observed Saturday as the sabbath, along with prosyletes. Christians attend church on the first day of the week because it was the first day of the week that a resurrected Jesus appeared to his followers. Romans 14:5 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." Galatians 2:21 "I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." There are many other commandments besides the well known ten. Is the sabbath the easiest one for you to keep; therefore you try to condemn those who know more bible?

MoreThan10Commandments!!
on
10/04/10 at 04:26 PM
Check this guy out! Now we have more than 10 Commandments. You self proclaimed Christians are a riot. It is a known fact that Christians did not start Worshiping on Sunday until about 300 years after Jesus's death. And even to this day not all Christians do. The Seventh-Day Adventists for example. Its funny that all other religions recognize the Sabbath for being Saturday. And only a portion of Christians do not. Then think they can change the meaning of Gods words, with words words of men. God wrote the Commandments in the Bible. Jesus Said if you love him keep them holy. The Jews were around long before Christians. As was the Sabbath. What funny to me is there are even Christian Churches that do not agree wit you. And every other religion. You would maybe have a case if you can turn every quote man has said into a Commandment God has written in stone. Nice try though. You people sure are going for desperate measures now. I am able to see now that many really do not have much knowledge of what the Bible says. More than 10 Commandments! I do not anyone can take you serious after that statement!!
what are the other commandments? i never heard any religion or man say this before. sounds like BS to me. i see you quoted verses that have no insight on the topic. can you show me some verses on these new commandments you have found. i promise i can make you famous with this kind of info. amazing after all these years!
i try to understand the tax raises on all the citizens of pike, but i cannot understand a multi- million dollar business being free of any taxes. mine is almost 4 times as much as year before last. i cannot see us citizens sharing this unwanted businesses taxes.
Let me just be sure that I understand this thinking and logic. The value of houses are down so the taxes go up? When (if) the market changes and the value of houses go up, will taxes drop back down?
There are actually over 600 commandments,rules,laws etc..in the old testament.Check out the book of Leviticus.Its clear there is a spirit of conflict at work within you. Why dont you come on out and state your beliefs instead of rejecting others. Make your case by back it up with some kind of recognized authority.Buddah, Muhammed, Reverand Ike.....I know its a shock to learn much of what you thought was true turns out to be bs.Its the spirit of pride that covers your eyes and heart with scales
Another feeble attempt to make breaking a Commandment the right thing to do. Your opinion of what this "mans" verse holds no weight over Gods Commandment. The Commandment again, simple and to the point. Man can esteemeth all he likes. I am talking about what God commanded. Why do the other religions have no problem with this? And like my professor said, the funny thing is the only people that do, are Christians who think they are on a free ride. Because Christians who do what is written, actually worship and respect the Sabbath. Those Christians do not even believe this garbage you all speak of. Other self proclaimed Christians think they can interpret a verse to mean anything they want. Go ahead and keep making things up. Again I will stick to the simple truth of what is written. Go ahead and give me your "opinion" of these verses you have presented. They do not state any clear message as a Commandment does. Let me hear you twist it to make it work for you. I do not even see the word Commandment or Sabbath in the verse you quote. But I am sure you can squeeze it in somewhere. But than again I bet you cant. I have seen this attempted many times. It is what we call building an upside down pyramid of knowledge. Almost like a prosecutor using hearsay for the foundation and than putting DNA evidence and other facts on top. There is no solid foundation. My how you Christians have become so lost. You are the only religion that has people not knowing when the Sabbath is. And the nutty thing, it is not even all Christians. Just the ignorant ones. You forgot to tell me we have more than 10 Commandments, and that Saturday is named after Saturn, Satan's planet! I have heard so many idiotic attempts from your kind. But you know something? I opened the Bible today and read the 10 Commandments. Afterwards, I read Jesus say if you love him keep them holy. Simple to me. But go ahead and have some one give you their "opinion" on this. Glad all Christians to not share your views on the Sabbath!
You have that backwards. One of the biggest and most respected supporters of Jesus is the Seventh-Day Adventist Christian church. They take the Commandments and all of Jesus's words very seriously. And to show their love and respect they honor the words of God and Jesus. Yes they know Saturday is the Sabbath and even choose to worship on the same day. The ones that deny Jesus are these self proclaimed Christians who have no respect for Gods Commandments or the fact that Jesus himself said if you love him keep them holy. Read all the sad attempts people make on here to explain why what God and Jesus says in the Bible, does not matter. God and Jesus up against a meaningless verse in Romans 14? Really? Is that all you got?
I see you are standing up against a Christian organization. Relax. It might be time for another cup of that witches brew that Donna, and elcie are always raving about.
When Christ died on the cross, it was God's grace that became our salvation. If you read Paul's writings in Galatians amongst many of the other versus quoted here, you will soon learn that things changed with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
You need to read and understand the passage in Romans. It basically says that you will be held accountable for the beliefs that you profess. So, if you profess to believe that Saturday is the Holy Sabbath and do not keep it then you are breaking God's law. And if you profess to believe that God should be praised everyday and you do not then you are also breaking God's law.
This is the last I will write on this subject as you obviously have no will to understand the truth as it is written in God's word.
sounds like the word of God and Jesus has struck a nerve with you. why has it caused you to resort to labeling people you do not know? even if that person you responded to with name calling is a Satan worshiper does that change what is written in the Bible? seems like people cannot handle the truth.
my "own" Sabbath? only you and your lost followers have your "own" Sabbath. i choose the one God has chosen. the one described in history books and encyclopedias alike. It seems like the best bet to me! you keep listening to all the BS you have been believing you whole life. It might just show up in a book of knowledge one day. i see churches of your "style" are now showing respect for homosexuality. ordained pastors of that element and everything. enough of the Sabbath. time to hear about your love of man who loves man! let me hear how you twisted words in the Bible to support this. Fat Bass Tard supports homosexuality in a Christian church!
it had nothing to do with the value of houses. the revenue from the previous taxes was not enough money to support the county. pike county held a meeting to explain this to people that did not understand why this hike was necessary. sounds like you should have attended.
Sounds like a polecat cry to me. The chief has wasted, Yep I say wasted and spent like a democrat our tax dollars now he wants more to waste. And it appears that you don't have enough common since to realize he is the root of the problem. So the polecat crys go out in support of wasting more of our hard earned dollars.
We can go to all the BOC meetings you want us to, we can listen to the crap that an uneqalified non experienced paid volunteer chief has to say but, and I say BUT!!!!!! the bottom line is waste. He and or you don't have a clue.
Now Rhoda, you know that fine boy's facility moving next door to you has raised your property values. That must be why your taxes have quadrupled. There's just no other logical explanation.
three meetings were held. two on July 28th at 11:30 and at 6:00. and another in August on the 4th at 4:00. its on the public calender. you need to stop letting people get to you. you have been looking quite foolish with your blogs lately.
Its true taxes were raised to keep up with operating costs of the county. There were 3 meetings actually. But I am sure you and your great interpretations of things would mean what? That three really means that there is 3 suns, and meetings mean we do not have to follow the commandments, and operating costs really mean the end of the world is near!
for a man that cant tell the first day of the week from the last it makes sense you missed them. at least with all your blogs you have wrote, there is plenty for us to to see you had a good reason!
preaching the bible on a holy day. what a disgrace. do not worry i gave all the profits i made to the church. i know how selfish of me. i am not perfect. i will try again next week. unlike you. bloging is now work? you getting real desperate now. i see you went back to acting like a child. whats the matter? you dont have any knowledge to bring to the table? jews do not condone homosexuality at all. that is definitely a Christian thing! its all over the news.
So Jesus did not say if you love him keep the Commandments holy? I see how the less facts you have to bring to the table the more childish you act. You are a real RobRoy. If you read what the Bible says you would indeed be the liar.
Jews are against being gay. But so are the Seventh-Day Adventists. Not even all Christians accept being gay. Just you self proclaimed Christians.But I will be sure to send them your way on Sunday. I know with the Biblical knowledge your church has, gay peoples money is more than welcome. And I am sure they make good hunting buddies at your camp! Now I understand the attitude. You knew being Jewish I was against homosexuality the whole time. Hey, what ever floats your boat. I do not care if you are gay and do not know what or when the Sabbath is. I am just telling folks what it says in the Bible. Again I did not write it. Call them lies all you want but its in there!
those were budget meetings. they were held to explain the budget. the budget could have been cut and taxes would not have needed to be raised. explaining the budget doesn't explain why taxes are raised it simply explains why the commissioners are unwilling to cut costs.
The main purpose of these meetings were to set the millage rate. You can lie all you want. Everyone that was there including myself knows this to be true and you to be lost. It was in the newspaper also, but as with all you other posts, we see how you like to interpret things to mean something else. You are a real RobRoy!
Fire bug, you dont have a clue!!The Chief has done wonders for the dept. and the county unlike you when you were in the dept..It was stale when you and yor partner in crime were at the top of the fire dept.You only wish you had the konw how to run a real fire dept. Now we have someone who knows and has not spent on anything that was not needed for the county. You are nothing more than a big bag of lies!!! A wana be! O this has nothing to do with the polecat before you accuse me of that too..
If we had a do-over now and compared it to the Kentucky Derby..........McCain would be wearing a wreath of roses while obama was tring to find the track. But I didn't want either one, I want Judge Judy to run for President.
He will be trying his best to hitch a boat ride to Kenya before someone demands a birth certificate and puts him in the EVEN bigger house. Mrs.(I was born in Kenya and funded by terrorist Muslims) obama may look even less sophisticated through that glass on visiting day.
You run along now and send your monthly check to Jimmy Swaggert and Jim Baker. Too bad Jim Jones drank the kool-aid. Just divide his part among the other two Christian leaders. Send some to the state of Florida also. They own the tax free land on which The Teen Challenge Correctional Facility resides. Mega-bucks....Look into that Non-Profit Christian Organization. What a laugh?
They make Judas look like Mother Teresa.
No kidding. Read all these blogs. Everyone is hiding behind that same banner. They will just come out on Saturday to desecrate the Sabbath. And look out on Sunday for the rest of the misled. Christianity has become nothing but an illusion. Main objective, to deceive and profit. And like Lucifer, it is doing an excellent job at it. They believe their lives are a free for all, because of Jesus. Then when this "Christian Business" uses the same free ride theory they do, they do not like it.
if you like pc and you want it to stay the way it is then welcome home. if you want to change it GO HOME!!
You must be getting tired.
Five hour energy not working for you anymore.
Your opinion of me means about as much as your ridiculous rants about Christianity.

What Romans explains here is that you should keep what tradition you hold sacred.
I've noticed several posts by you on Saturday breaking your Sabbath.
So before you come here with your holier than thou attitude, perhaps you should work on keeping your own beliefs.
Matthew 7:3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Go Bama. Roll Tide. The Champions.
Go obama. To Kenya. What a loser.
Certainly, I am sure they will, won't they?
You need to read and understand the passage in Romans. It basically says that you will be held accountable for the beliefs that you profess. So, if you profess to believe that Saturday is the Holy Sabbath and do not keep it then you are breaking God's law. And if you profess to believe that God should be praised everyday and you do not then you are also breaking God's law.
This is the last I will write on this subject as you obviously have no will to understand the truth as it is written in God's word.
Christian organizations don't force themselves on communities that don't want them.
you were blogging on Saturday so you didn't do much to celebrate the Jewish Sabbath.
that is why you are a hypocrite and apparently a homosexual as well which is also against Jewish Doctrine.
what you have to say is nothing but a lie spewed out over and over again. you don't even respect the Sabbath that you so adamantly claim.
owned again.
We can go to all the BOC meetings you want us to, we can listen to the crap that an uneqalified non experienced paid volunteer chief has to say but, and I say BUT!!!!!! the bottom line is waste. He and or you don't have a clue.
Sincerely,
Mr. Taxpayer
