Ooops.. I missed the third candidate's answer (Smith)

"Absolutely; from a fair taxation standpoint the taxpayers are getting the short end of the stick. History will show and prove timber barons of the past raped the ground and did not replant. Further, history will also show they did not pay taxes due after harvesting and thus the state took over many of the properties and started replanting.

Economically; the only economically feasible approach to this issue is through our legislature. If elected as commissioner this matter will be a priority. My position is that we all should be treated equitably when being taxed, including timber companies."

He is flipping.  His buddy commissioner Gordon is getting the low vote because he is the one who fought to back out of the case.  Pretty big issue down here.  The voters are angry.  Interesting to listen to local talk shows.  It is a hot topic.

Cromier trounced his competition in primary, so it looks like this issue stays front and center.
