The Church of the Isaiah 58 Project of Arizona has been assessed $53,000 in property taxes due to the questionable actions of Tax Assessor George Nault. Many experts say these taxes are not allowed by the Arizona Constitution. (The annual total church budget is about equal to this tax bill.)

So, the church was forced to bring a lawsuit against La Paz County, Arizona, or lose their property to foreclosure. Today the first hearing was held. A judge granted what amounts to a pause in the case. If the judge next determines that the church has been dealt a hardship, then the case may proceed. Otherwise, Isaiah 58 will still be forced to pay the taxes.    Watch Video  Atty Erik Stanley Explains

Although the town has done so in the past, and although Arizona Public Meeting Law requires it, the full agenda and supporting documents are no longer being posted on the Quartzsite Town website. On February 8, the town manager estimated that it might be up by the end of that week, technical difficulties, lots of problems. Although the website is partially rebuilt, it is now a month later, and the site is largely not functional.
