From The Pahrump Valley Times:
Lien times: Assessor had tax issues
Posted on26 August 2011.

Ahhh. The irony.
Darling of local wingnuts, Nye County’s top tax collector, Assessor Shirley Matson, has a long history of her own tax problems, mechanic’s liens and other issues surrounding paying her debts going back to 1991, according to public records obtained by a “concerned citizen” and given to the Pahrump Valley Times.
An independent database check of the records, which mainly reside in Matson’s former hometown in San Diego County, Calif., confirmed the information’s authenticity.
A recall effort is underway to remove Matson from office over blatantly racist emails she authored that surfaced in March.
Matson was reprimanded by county commissioners later that month for conduct unbecoming a public official.

So, what is the definition of a wing nut, Matt Ward?
Did Matt Ward do a poll to show that "wing nuts" support Matson? If so, i would like to see that poll.
Blatent racist e-mail? She asked the Sheriff of Nye County to see if any illegal immigrants were working on Nye County project. Is that racist?
Then you have a totally anonymous "source" who refuses to give his/her name but yet Ward interviews this person as the main source of his article.
Now it turns out that Matson is a certified tax scofflaw, another reason, detractors say, for voters to recall her.
Really, who certified her?
scoff·law (skflô, skôf-)
n.
One who habitually violates the law or fails to answer court summonses

Matson has never been convicted of any criminal and there is no evidence that she has failed to answer any court summonses. Can you say a defamation lawsuit filed by Matson against Matt Ward and the PVT?
I realize that the Pahrump Vally Times is a liberal newspapers and the newspaper writers are probably bitter that they are stuck in Pahrump writing for the PVT instead of the NY Times.
But Matt Ward and the PVT should act like professionals instead of writing articles that are horribly and unprofessionally written and and with an obvious bias.
Finally, they need to get a dictionary so they know the meaning of words with 2 or more syllables.
