Ms. Watson's explanation for why she was paying such low property taxes defies logic and questions her credibility. By her actions after being questioned by a reporter, she fully knew she had received an undeserved benefit of a mistaken appraisal, if that is, in fact, what it was. Ms. Watson has been an advocate for the poor and dispossessed since she's been on the Council, kind of a moral conscience for those overlooked by the grand plans of the Mayor and other Council members. By not paying her fair share of her property taxes, she has exposed herself as someone who skirts her responsibility and wants others to pay for her political views. Is there some portal that the Council members walk through that exempts them from the reality the rest of us face in Detroit? They certainly seem to live in another universe.
