Today we were joined by Preston Trigg of the Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s office. Trigg is the Director of Administration and Special Projects and took some time out of his busy schedule to go over some of the different requests he gets on a daily basis.

Along with all of the knowledge he has gathered from his days in the tax collectors office he also shared some of the tricks he picked up as a reporter. He stated that main thing that all reporters should remember is to follow the money because that will usually lead you...
