\nChairman Paulk declined to let Mrs. Cox speak because he said in a letter\nto the Commission she called them idiots.\nWhen he let Nolen Cox speak, Cox said:\n

\nI think it’s interesting that the comments\nabout the CHIP grant comes after the vote.\nY’all must be an all-wise group.\n<\/blockquote>\nChairman Paulk referred to that as sarcastic.\nCox disagreed.\nPaulk said it was in his opinion and he decided such things there.\n

\nCox asserted that:\n

\nto get a $300,000 grant it takes about $420,000\nof tax money accumulated from citizens.\n<\/blockquote>\nHe didn’t cite any source for those figures.\nHe did claim the Commission was luring people into homebuying\nwhile home prices are going down.\n
\nSomebody had to work for the money that they didn’t get\nto give to somebody who didn’t work.\n<\/blockquote>\nSounds like he was saying CHIP grant recipients don’t work.\nI wonder how they pay their mortgages then, since CHIP grants\nas near as I can tell only help with down payments?\n

\nI guess he didn’t hear Carolyn Selby’s point that\n\nCHIP grants turn renters into property tax-paying owners.<\/a>\nSeems like that would help keep Nolen Cox’s property taxes low.\n
