re: This genius manipulated tax records for his home to save approx $300 What an idiot!

I'd bet any money someone wanted him gone so they looked for a reason to get rid of him.

I would say that if some outside company went through every parish's assessor's office records they would find some type of manipulated tax records.

Start with the people who own the most land in each parish. If they donate a good bit to the assessors campaign there is a good chance they don't pay even half of what they are supposed to pay.
