The assessors election included a fascinating twist this year.

Seven candidates qualified on the I.Q. ticket. Each made a pledge to quit (when the positions are consiolidated under the constitution) if elected and in the mean time assign his salary to hire a professional appraiser to take over the function creating a defacto single assessor in New Orleans.

We'll get to see just how fed up people are with the status quo.

Only one of the IQ candidates was elected, but the Legislature did pass a bill to consolidate the offices into one.
