<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="4"><span style="">Remember the computer
"Hal," in Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001? After becoming self-aware,
Hal abandoned its mission of service for that of self-preservation. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="4"><span style="">The same thing is happening in
government today. Traditional principles such as "public service" and
"fiduciary duty" are evaporating as government officials become aware
that they can ignore the law and pursue their own agendas without fear of
consequences.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="4"><span style=""> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="4"><span style="">This nation was founded as a
republic, to be governed not by the will of persons with agendas, but by the
rule of law. Public officials at all levels have a fiduciary obligation and
take an oath to uphold the law. They must diligently observe the Constitution,
the statutes, the regulations, and the rulings of the Supreme Court, both in
spirit and letter. Their policies and actions must guarantee the rights and
interests of the citizens they serve.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="4"><span style=""> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="4"><span style="">Recently, all 9,000 residential
taxpayers in Incline Village and Crystal Bay received final decisions from
county and state boards of equalization, rolling back unconstitutional 2006
property-tax valuations to 2002 levels. By law, Washoe County must pay refunds
for any taxes that exceed those values. In three major decisions, the Supreme
Court has ruled that unconstitutional assessments are void and that refunds
plus interest must be paid for the excess taxes. Yet the Washoe County
commissioners and treasurer, led by the district attorney, still refuse to pay.</span></font></p>
