Location: Chicago -- CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE Rep Power: 10  | Your tax dollars in action Mich. City Spends $5.21 To Mail 51-cent Tax Bill BRIGHTON, Mich., May. 14, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (AP) A Michigan doctor is getting a laugh out of a 51-cent property tax bill. It isn't just that Phil Kazanji's bill is so low. It's that it cost the city of Brighton $5.21 to send it to him by certified mail. Kazanji says he first thought the amount was a mistake. Now he calls the whole thing "the most ridiculous thing a government agency would do." City finance director Dave Gajda says Kazanji paid $158 on a bill for $158.48. The city penalized him 3 cents and sent him the new tab. Gajda says Brighton doesn't have the authority to waive a portion of taxes. Kazanji says he'll write out a check for 51 cents and drop it off.  __________________ Dogs rollover Phones hunt | ||||||||

| Moderator  | There was a story in the news a few years ago about a credit card company that sent a bill for $0.00. The recipient threw it away. Got another bill the next month with a penalty of $0.00 cents added making his new total $0.00. Threw it away again. Got another bill with the same penalty and a notice to pay the charge or they would report it to the credit agencies as a delinquent account. Calling the company got a verbal response that they would take care of it. Didn't work because he got the same bill the next month with the warning again, now he was 90 days late. Finally sent a check for $0.00 to solve the problem. It is not just governments that are stupid. __________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup. Marty |
