I saw that too. Pretty sure Murad said that.

Boomers finally retired.

It is a crime now. Not sure what the law was 50 years ago.

The fees are all paid by the escrow company. All escrow payments are all grouped together and sent to the town as one payment. The town claims they never received that payment, which represents the large amount that was not collected and then was. The town collected a bunch of fees from the escrow company. Seemingly no harm to people in the town, but still fishy. Everything was paid eventually and never cost me more. Just seems really weird and convenient for the town this all happened.

Is she still alive?

Cell phones still works pretty well when the power is out,

Nothing like that Morrisville alpine experience!

This quote is referring to how town officials are spending collected taxes, not how the tax collector is handling the collections & bookkeeping. Nevertheless, this situation absolutely warrants having an auditor look at.

No family doctors any where around here. Best you can do is an NP, and even they are tough to get time with.

That is delinquent taxes for those years that were STILL outstanding as of Dec. 31st, 2022.

Tks

flavor graveyard? 👀👀

It looks to me as if outstanding taxes for 2020-21 were $1,859 and for ‘21-22 they were $10,325. That’s certainly a big difference from ‘20-21 as well as the prior 2 years! This is definitely concerning. Something odd is going on.

Really wonder what happened...

i used to go to mt philo with my grandmother so much as a kid that place is so underrated man

We have this same situation. I do use ice melt on the step, but this year added a mat like this one and it’s made a huge difference. You might be able to find this type of material in a better shape/size for stairs.

It’s not just VT of it makes you feel better. Exact same situation in western Mass.

Probably wouldn't qualify but tks

What doctors?

People don't realize how bad it is right now. Vacancies for specialists at rural hospitals can take over 4 years to recruit for in good times.

In the post-COVID market? Even if you could find them, you'll pay double the pre-COVID rates. How sustainable is it for a dinky rural hospital to pay $400-$500/hr for a Gastroenterologist?

Could you find a local nonprofit or charity organization to buy heat mats?

That's no way to talk about my sister in law, Mrs.Sharon Peters.

Not in my town.

Cut in metal grates so the snow falls through. They make them with a grippy top.

This is not showing all time delinquent taxes for each year, but:

In the first column, amount of taxes still due from the indicated tax year after their due date as of Jan. 1st, 2022.

In the second column, amount of delinquent taxes for the indicated tax year collected in calendar year 2022.

In the third column, amount of delinquent taxes still due for the indicated tax year as of Dec. 31st, 2022.

This is a very poorly designed table, and I understand your confusion. Also, I work in municipal finance, and I appreciate you doing your due diligence to hold your public officials to account. G-d knows my exposure to crappy graphics is the only reason I have an inkling of what is going on here, lol.

I would encourage you to dig up town reports from the last 5 years and compare the data in them. I hope you will find that this is not astronomically high, but who knows. It does look at least a little high. No clerk worth his or her salt is going to begrudge you looking into town finances.

One other thing: at the office where I work, we do not go tracking down escrow payments that don’t show up on time, because it is not strictly our responsibility to keep track of which tax accounts are being paid through escrow. I would have a stern conversation with your lender and consider asking Wolcott’s delinquent tax collector if some of the fees on your tax bill could be waived given that you thought it was being paid by escrow.

Been waiting over a week for a doctor to sign off on a medication I've been taking for years. Ran out half a week ago. They say it's been "top priority" the past three times I've called.
