You Know What Would Could Provide Tax Payers Some Relief?

The Children's Hospital stuff has us all talking about relief for tax payers. 

Well here's something that could capture some money for the county...have the Justices of the Peace fork over some of the revenue they make off of performing weddings.

Talk about a racket! The JPs are only able to perform the weddings in the first place because of their positions with the county. And trust me, they make a LOT of money off of it.

It's so lucrative that the former JP Barbara Perez started a business marrying people after she was recently defeated. It's not hard, if you recall I became an ordained minister a few years ago. That reminds me, you people are supposed to refer to me as Reverend LionStar. Or was it Bishop? I forget. But I also became a Jedi Knight through the same website.

Anywho, the JPs make a chingo of feria off of it and we tax payers don't see a dime of it. They use our resources to do it too. 

In fact, I'll bet they don't even track how many they do or how much they make off of it so it would be hard to even submit an open records request for the info. But they have to file personal financial statements so maybe that info is there. Or it should be anyway. Hmm, that sounds like something someone should look into.

At any rate, it would likely be a good chunk of change. At least one of the JPs that does it even has a little set-up for photo ops of the special occasion. 

I wonder how much revenue that would be for the County tax payers?
