The Riverside County Assessor's office publicly displays data at court hearings that is collected confidentially from their citizens. This practice is against state law and hurts the public's trust in the government to be honest and fair. Riverside County Counsel is conspiring with the Assessor's office to continue this illegal practice of using confidential data to generate higher taxes; effectively stealing from taxpayers. County Counsel has been defeated on this issue multiple times yet the Assessor's office continues to violate the law. As citizens, we have the right to fair and trustworthy representation by our elected officials.

The solution is to have the management at the Riverside County Assessor's office replaced. The Assessor's office management is aware of the illegal and unethical nature of their actions and that they are violating both the spirit and the letter of the law. Citizens should sign this petition to force a change that will prevent the Assessor's office from publicly using their confidential data. Concerned citizens should know that by sending this petition they are protecting their rights to privacy and helping to increase government transparency, honesty, and fairness.
