There are people who are collecting taxes from left, right and center, which is not accounted for because of lack of proper auditing mechanisms and follow-up. This creates a loophole for corruption, which we need to seal. The only way we can seal those loopholes is by being smart and passing legislation on the Floor of this House. view

County governments must look at those issues, and they should have master plans that will ... view
