The article really doesn't go into it, but I think if you don't pay property taxes, then you risk a lien or a seizure of property.
I think his "dispute" (if you will) is that they've cashed other checks when he's written inappropriate (for lack of a better word) things in the memo line. It seems that because this one says "sexual favors", that they're not cashing it.
I'm wondering if they keep records (i.e. photocopies) of the checks, or if there's a legal reason, or whatever, since IIRC the county clerk is female. And a check for several hundred dollars that says "sexual favors" in the memo line might raise some eyebrows.
