It is very interesting that if you go on the Internet to
check out a simple Hamilton County Surveyor document you find it blocked. In
fact I found one after another blocked. So you have to dig to find the answer.
Here is an example:
Harry Herr Drain, Maintenance Assessment Increase
Go ahead copy it and put in your Google search
Save you some time here is the link
Now on this page click on the name, in fact click on any of
the Drain names and here is what you get:
“Blocked by Content Security Policy

OK so go to the County website and here is what you find:

Of course this public notice says nothing. Anyone reading it would have no clue, you would assume an assessment was increased where this drain is located. How much? Where is it?
When you dig further you can find the actual letter to the
Drainage Board that does not call for an increase but rather keeping the assessment
the same as established in 2014. So why is the title for an “increase.”
Maybe we need to have plain English established in the
Surveyor’s Office? Maybe the
County Drainage Board should not have approved a letter with a misleading
title? Why is there a security policy on a drainage notice?
Maybe its time for the voters of Hamilton County to elect a
new Surveyor with proven government administrative capabilities and engineering
expertise. I still have no clue where this drain is located.
