POLITICAL ORGANIZATION MEMBERSHIPS:

1. If you are elected to this office, will you work to consolidate the seven assessor offices into one office with sufficient resources and staff?
Yes. As a member of the "IQ Ticket," consolidation of the seven offices is the overriding goal of my candidacy.

2. If you are elected to this office, will you pledge to be trained as a Certified Assessor Evaluator or Appraisal Supervisor to meet the standards set by the International Association of Assessing Officers?
Not likely. I anticipate that my term in office will end upon the effectiveness of a constitutional amendment consolidating the seven offices by the end of 2006. Thus, I likely will not have sufficient time in office to obtain the designations.

3. Will you agree to publish a list of exempt properties annually?
Yes

4. How will the staff training and the data entry necessary for the new computer system be funded?
The offices of the seven Orleans Parish assessors and the office of the Board of Assessors appear to have a combined budget of over $4.5 million, a lot of money. The IQ Ticket promises substantially to reduce the overhead of the offices by eliminating the salaries and benefits to seven assessors; the IQ Ticket promises to work without compensation. All resulting savings will be directed to making the new computer system operate effectively and to completing the State Tax Commission mandated parish-wide reassessment.
