Brickbat: Low Taxes for Me, Not for Thee

Justin Champlin, the former chief deputy tax assessor in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, has been arrested on two counts each of injuring public records and computer tampering, as well as malfeasance in office. Police said that on two different occasions, Champlin illegally reduced the assessment on his property to lower his tax obligation. Champlin was fired from his job in early April following an internal audit.

" . . . injuring public records . . . "

I guess if guns can commit crimes, records can be injured - - - - -

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Are these, like, sensitive records? Can they be injured by harsh words and mean tweets?

Were they taken to the hospital? Did they have insurance?
