Well, here's an answer to your questions. First, there is a difference between property tax rates and a property tax assessment. The rate is an overall percentage at which your property is taxed.

JARED LOUGHNER MENTAL EXAM: CAN HE STAND TRIAL?
(FindLaw's Blotter) - Is Jared Loughner insane? That's up for discussion, but the District Court is going to involve doctors to find out. Loughner will be transported to a federal prison in Springfield, Missouri at some point in the next month in order to undergo a mental evaluation. The health examiners' report will determine whether he can stand trial--not if he is responsible for his crimes. Two mental evaluations must take place during Loughner's trial.

CHRIS BROWN PROBATION: COULD GMA TANTRUM AFFECT HIM IN COURT?
(FindLaw's Celebrity Justice) - The Chris Brown tantrum is a legendary thing. We all remember Rihanna. However, one would think that after six months of court-ordered domestic violence counseling, the singer would have learned to handle a bit of his anger. But with newly bleached hair and armfuls of tattoos, the singer proved that this isn't the case.

It's been discovered that the whole thing was a lie and people are wondering if Mark Bao isn't a fraud. It's very serious to lie a bout a serious crime and that's what Mark Bao has done here. Is he a conman? Or a sociopath? Are people like Mark Bao becoming mentally ill by their obsession at getting popular on the internet? We hope that people are able to get the help they need before it's too late.
