Latter & Blum terminates President Arthur Sterbcow
Sterbcow, a champion of transparency and good government, provided the same type of information about Orleans Parish to the Times-Picayune in 2004 for a series about assessment disparities among the city's seven elected assessors. Sterbcow's data helped fuel a discussion about uneven tax burdens, and voters opted to consolidate the seven positions into one office.
You see because this real estate agent with thirty years of insider experience in the subjective, arbitrary business of valuing assets for the benefit of the sort of people involved in property transactions has provided information to the Times-Picayune, he merits distinction as a "champion of transparency and good government". The article couldn't have just told us, "Sterbcow provided the same type of information about Orleans Parish to the Times-Picayune in 2004..." No no that wouldn't have quite driven the point home to the paper's liking.
