This from the PJS's editorial page - their "Thumbs Up" thing:

To Woodford County officials for agreeing to help Tazewell County get its tax bills in order. Under the agreement, Woodford Supervisor of Assessments Laurie Epkins will train new Tazewell employees in processing tax bills. Tazewell tax bills may be as much as two months late this year, in part because there's been so much turnover in the assessment office there. The delayed tax bills cost every Tazewell government money, because they either have to borrow in the interim or fail to earn interest. Counties must get bills out on time. This type of intergovernmental cooperation ought to help. There should be more of it.
Last we knew from the Journal Star's Award Winning Editorial Board [nod to PeoriaPundit], we were the backward hicks of the Tri-County area, capable only of bickering amongst ourselves. Glad we could help out, and a tip o' the hat to our Ms. Epkins and the PJS.
