When The Times launched an effort to find how timely political candidates were in paying their taxes, little did we know the result would be the revelation that you really can’t trust those online tax records posted by the Hall County tax commissioner’s office. In a story last week, we reported that five candidates seeking election this year had been late in paying their annual tax obligation, some by a few days, some by months. In compiling the data, we started with the online database maintained by the county’s tax commissioner office, then confirmed with Tax Commissioner Keith Echols that we were reporting the numbers accurately and interpreting things correctly.
