Olgin Williams as a Deputy Mayor? e can’t talk, is an ex-con and is a crook.
WE ARE F***ED…Blacks don’t mean sh!t to this administrator.

Prominent Black Republicans like Rev. Solomon are grumbling already …

Odd. I wouldn’t think you had the ear of, or paid lip service to any Black Republicans. I was under the distinct impression that you considered them “race traitors”. Occasionally, I guess I am wrong.

Um, “BlackEducated nonconvict”, you don’t SOUND very educated.

I’ve been staring at this post for the past 10 minutes thinking of something to say. I have to admit: I’m at a loss.

Well, Gary Welsh and Jen Wagner are both asking if the Mayor elect was really clueless enough to make, as his first appointment, a guy who pays NO PROPERTY TAXES!
Seriously, Abdul, you’re the best at digging. Can you get the story out for us in the a.m.?
If true, oh man. Mud, meet face.

I already checked on the tax bill, Olgen and his wife pay their tax bill through their mortgage. They got an exemption this year they hadn’t taken advantage of in the past so they overpaid. They had the amount they owed applied to their future bill so they didn’t owe anything.
Sorry to disappoint you folks but no conspiracy here.
Olgen will be on tomorrow at 735 for those of you who are interested.

How many of our so called inner city impoverished black leaders don’t pay taxes? If I work off random sampling logic, it seems like quite a few given that many on the CCC did not or were not paying, and now right off the bat, the first appointee of the new mayor. And we, the common citizens are to believe that corruption is an isolated thing?
Maybe there is such a thing as a “getto mafia”.
Lets turn the lite on everyone. Maybe a complete inventory of all city shakers needs to be done regarding fair share taxes.

Ok then.
What exemption?
Didn’t know that if you FAILED to take an exemption and found out later you could get a credit for it…need to look into that!
