Joe Hanson Tax Protest

Mineral County resident Joe Hanson discussed the Sheriff’s Department services in Alberton – stating that he hasn’t seen anything out of the department to justify the money that is paid each year by the town and the county.

Hanson added he would like to talk to Sheriff Ernie Ornelas about the issues he has with the department and will be protesting his taxes due to the lack of law enforcement in Alberton and the surrounding community.

After more discussion was had regarding the matter, Hanson asked to be informed of any response to his concerns by the Sheriff’s Department.
