To the Greenwich Time editor:
In July of 2000 we moved from Greenwich to Walla Walla, Wash. In July of 2008 we received a bill collector's notice from the town of Greenwich demanding payment of unpaid taxes for 1999 due in July of 2000 for two cars we owned at the time plus eight years of interest. To say that I am ourtaged that the town of Greenwich would wait eight years to decide to tell us about a tax we may have owned, plus accumulated interest, would be an understatement.
The bill collector, American National Recovery Group Inc., has sent a sheet explaining that under Connecticut statue and case law there is no obligation for the tax collector to send a bill, and lack of receipt is no excuse for non-payment. Moreover, the taxing entity cannot forgive interest.
I am stunned. The absurdity of it is surpassed only by the injustice. If, in fact, we owe a tax, we will, of course, pay it, but eight years of interest? Either the town of Greenwich is incompetent in its record keeping, or this is a deliberate scam to raise funds in a most unethical way.
This is not simply a matter of legal equity, it is a matter of moral turpitude. After all, what is the difference between this behavior and the behavior of private entities engaged in the corrupt practices of organized crime?
