In reply to Hope. Could you cite the source of the claim you made "we are #1 in crime" please? I am interested in how this is measured. Is this in the state, nation, world? Thanks

In reply to Rusty.

Pretty sure those are his parents. But, he would have had to live in the city limits during candidate qualifying period, June 20th – 24th 2016, in order to avoid the trouble. I doubt anything comes of this though. The office location has sleeping arrangements and all of his mail goes there. His license indicates the Adams St. address as well. All he would have to say is that he is in the process of moving and that would show “intent” and facts and be really hard to disprove.

He’ll get smacked down. Lives in the past and needs to move on.

Per the Leon County Property Appraiser’s office [1], Mr. Maddox does not claim a homestead exemption on his Meadow Wood property. However, he purchased a property on Sinclair Road (within the city) on 08/09/2016 and claims a homestead exemption on that property. Both properties use the Adams Street office as the mailing address.

Further research shows he did not actually purchase the Sinclair Road property, but rather had it quit claim deeded over to him. The grantors of the quit claim deed are Charles and Fredericka Maddox [2]. Family members?

Seems like Mr. Maddox pulled a fast one right before the election.

In reply to jon. You don't get a Homestead Exemption if you are renting. Because you don't own the property. BTW, the Adams Street property is AN OFFICE.

Discovery in this court case should include requests for all of Maddox’s personal and business income tax returns. The IRS has very strict, and court tested, law on what is considered a primary personal residence for treatment of various expense items such as primary home mortgage interest expense, real estate taxes, office in home expenses, travel expenses to and from home and office, and several other areas which could potentially shed a lot of light on where Maddox actually considered himself to be living versus where he considered himself to be working.

If Maddox is not an “elector”, and therefore can not legally run as a candidate for the City Commission office, then he has also likely committed election fraud when he undoubtedly voted for himself in the city elections.

It is fraud like this that actually hurts state workers. If the legislature and Governor see that the voters in this town will accept fraud and unethical behavior over and over again, then why are state employees worthy of any recognition or raise?
