Anti-tax advocates demand Kenny resign from assessors board

Two taxpayer advocates have asked the Fulton County Commission to demand the resignation of Board of Assessors member Rick Kenny, who was revealed in an AJC article to have been disciplined by state last year for being "negligent" in over-appraising a duplex for $210,000 in 2005.

During public comments Wednesday, Fulton County Taxpayers Foundation Executive Director Barbara Payne said the board doesn't need a blemish when assessment values are "upside down." Georgia Property Taxpayers Committee president R.J. Morris read a letter demanding Kenny quit.
