People who have not paid property taxes since 1987 will be taken to court if they do not pay Douglas County what they owe. Residents owe county $138,000 By Heather Anderson Kansan staff writer In a unanimous vote, the Douglas County Commission last night authorized the county counselor to file court documents. He had not paid their real-estate taxes. Chris McKenzie, county administrator, said that the county was missing more than $138,000 in taxes. The amount does not include interest. If property owners do not pay their taxes, the county will have the right to take it. He said the county wanted property owners to pay taxes because the county did not have time to sell the property to recover its money. McKenzie said that property owners could pay their taxes any time to avoid going to court. People will have time to pay although the county will begin determining delinquent tax payers next week. In other business, the commission agreed to borrow $257,000 from Dougall County Bank to pay for the West Sixth Street improvement project. If a case goes to court and a judgment is made, the property owners would owe their taxes plus court costs, McKenzie said. The project is scheduled to begin Monday on Sixth Street from Monterrey Way to Wakarusa Drive, McKenzie said. Rap defense unlikely to be used The Associated Press DODGE CITY — A fourth defendant in a random slaying has pleaded guilty in the case, leaving doubts that "rap music defense" will be used in the case. "He didn't find it had any great effect on Vincent," said Linda Eckelman, Perez's court-appointed attorney. group called the "Geto Boys." Vincent Perez pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to commit murder after a psychiatrist told the suspect's attorney that the 16-year-old was sane at the time of the shooting. The psychiatrist also said that Perez was not hypnotized by the violent rap music of a Perez's plea agreement, in which a second count of aiding and abetting first-degree murder was dropped, leaves only 16-year-old Christopher Martinez facing trial in the slaying of mort plant-plant surgeon Bruce Romest. Eckelman first raised the possibility of using the rap tape as part of a defense proclaiming diminished mental capacity. Martinez's attorney, Camilla Haviland, said Tuesday she could not say whether she would proceed with that defense. Martinez is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, or with planning to kill who was walking across a downtown bridge early in the morning on April 16 when he was killed. Haviland said she had not talked with the psychiatrist who examined Martinez and Perez. "THRIFTY THURSDAY!" SAVE BIG BUCKS! From Your Friends at Pyramid Pizza (of course!)
