Perhaps Mr. Archer should hire Steven Barry as his new CPA!

My dad always says “a man that lies will also steal”.

Personal accountability goes a long way. If a man provides excuses all the time, he obviously takes no accountability for his actions. We are all responsible for ourselves.
If the taxes are not paid is the tax lien placed against the CPA, no it is the property owner who is held accountable. We are all responsible for ourselves.

To Mnon:
Student loans are designed to be paid back over many years, the minimum repayment period is 10 years, longer for excessive amounts (like medical school, law school, Etc.) I know this because I was paying for a long time (over 10 years). No lender expects a person to pay student loans off in a year. None of this prevents a person from paying them sooner if they choose to, but who can afford that right out of school?

This is article is exactly what I was talking about earlier. Sam is blaming everyone else for this but himself. Sam says that his occupation is “Real Estate Management.” Does he really want us to believe that he is in Real Estate Management and is unaware of the Property tax?

What is funny is that he actually paid taxes on SOME of his properties but those were properties. Did he think that the county was not collecting on all of his properties this year?

Yeah, Sam has an excuse for everything. Maybe someday SOMETHING will be his fault.

I’m sure Sam’s wife appreciates being thrown under the bus with the CPA.

Gonna be a chilly night around that old tax-free homestead.

This was brought up at a Candidates Forum in July. You said to the best of your knowledge they had been paid. Think I would have double checked the next day.

Come on Sam. You found out about this on Sunday and it is Tuesday? I think I would have been there to pay on Monday. You can even pay online!

Based on tax records Sam has “missed” paying taxes more than last years. I use a CPA and he does not pay my bills. Tax records went to “good old Sam” and he elected not to pay. With any luck Wilson will introduce Sam to Forest and we can all go back to the Escambia County of the 50’s and 60’s.

To Mnon:

You do not get it. It is not the number of dollars Mr. Archer has not paid in taxes — the issue is he has not paid his property taxes — nothing — -0-.

Why elect Mr. Archer or anyone to oversee county funds when that person has not paid what is required of him/her.

By the way, the balance on taxes comes due every year. I am certain that the balances on your student loans are not billed that way.
