Reply #14: Collect less than entitled but more than willing to collect [View All]

[One_Life_To_Give]

Have seen an outside agency contract where the municipality would colect a guaranteed minimum in excess of what it had historically been collecting.

Where the municipal tax collectors office had been historically receiving around 90%. I private firm offered about 95% guaranteed, to be paid to the town on the due date. Plus a percentage of any additional taxes collected over a certain amount.

Of course when the private company started slapping leins on the property of tax delinquent Town Council members. Why they had to be given the heave ho. Which pretty much explains why the tax collectors were unable to collect from the people who effectivly controlled their paychecks.
