Appraiser. We are familiar with the Flagler County case, and <br />ours is different. <br />Mrs. Park emphasized that it is still garbage pickup, but <br />Attorney Vitunac pointed out that there are right ways to do <br />things and wrong ways, and Flagler County did it the wrong way. <br />Mrs. Park repeated that the Attorney General said it could <br />not be used as a lien against property, and she intended to look <br />into that further.
