“It’s Your Money”
A clerk from the treasurer's office or even the treasurer himself will call Jim and say, "the law says it's YOUR money."
Dear Rob,
I’ve decided to let Jim’s property go to the Pierce County tax sale.
So, on December 1, 2007, I’ll be working an overage play on that thing.
But, you don’t need to worry because I already mentioned it to Jim back when I was negotiating with him on the telephone and he said whatever I did after I bought it was my call.
Do you see how that works?

Ms. Direction
HB 1564 was intended to make it difficult for me to work MY overage plays so the county could continue to work THEIR overage plays.

In a word, HB 1564 is best described as “misdirection.”
Anyone not realizing its true intent no doubt believes it has something to do with protecting the overage funds of the Tom and Suzies of the state.
It does nothing of the sort and was never intended to do anything even remotely related.
