One of the more important issues facing Northampton County right now is making the assessment system fair and accurate. The County hasn’t reassessed in 18 years, but obviously much has changed about home values and especially land values in different neighborhoods during that time.

You assume that A.) It would be enough to do so, and B.) It would even factor into a LV politician’s thinking. It should, but wouldn’t. They have money behind them too, so I doubt that would work. Plus, it’s a little different than federal deadlines.
Riebman will raise as much if not more than Callahan as the unions know he’ll funnel millions to them and ask nothing in return except support for his campaign.
McClure can barely get elected Commissioner, he has no chance at Executive.
