Paula Hughes must be fuming this morning. The JG did a story comparing out Mayoral candidates, and it points out her REAL record on taxes:
“Her campaign has repeatedly touted that her council took the county from an $8 million debt to a $22 million surplus. This included repaying the state millions owed for housing juvenile offenders, a debt that went unchecked for years.
Hughes, however, does not tout the fact this accomplishment included several tax increases. The council pushed increases to finance such projects as staffing the Wood Youth Center – increases so large, the county had to ask for permission from the state to enact them.”

So the JG said she said? They’re better known for presenting their interperetaions as facts.
