A Challenge to Metro Property Assessor's Office Ethics

An Enclave reader copied me his e-mail to the Metro Assessor's Office raising the question of the professional ethics of their announcement to some local organizations on community education opportunities:
I do not think it's appropriate for Elizabeth Sullivan to promote her business using Metro Government resources, i.e including her business e-mail at the bottom of the message. It's not necessary and should not be promoted through Metro systems.

  1. Interesting viewpoint. I took Ms. Sullivan comment as making herself available to answer questions after her short term contract was up. I suppose if you are always looking for the worst, you can find something. And I suppose Ms Sullivan should tell anyone with questions after her assignment, to take a leap.

  2. That's good advice. As a taxpayer, I am paying for her short-term assignment - so I welcome her to tell me to take a leap!
