Happy Holidays from our government.

It's only 102 pages. Maybe we shold cut expenses and taxes so that residents can afford to stay in their homes. And the tax sale process starts if you are less than 30 days late. This is an annual outrage,

Last time I was at the tax office, paying my outrages taxes, there was an older woman there crying about how much her taxes were and that she didn't have all the money to pay for them. She stated that she has lived in this house for 40 plus years and she is on a fixed income. And not 1 person who worked there showed her that they understood and that they would try to help her. I am in the same boat with not getting an income right now, but they could care less. Just keep getting more money out of the residents so that certain people can collect a bigger paycheck.

Imagine that, Herm Englebert is on the list AGAIN for not paying his GTMUA taxes. This is a yearly event. It would be interesting to find out if he every really pays his taxes or if they just "disappear" off the books. Some other interesting names on here too and I'm only through the first dozen pages or so.

Isn't benjamin Zhangi on the BHPRSB? He's on the listt too. He doesnt pay his CCMUA or GTMUA bills.

Oh, look at this, a Simiriglio that doesn't pay his CCMUA or GTMUA bill. it would be interesting to see if those two actually get paid as well.

Anyone know if Patricia Bianchini is the wife of our Council President? Can't be that many Bianchini's in town.

This is stupidity. After falling behind on my county sewer bill, I received an accumulated bill in September, and had begun making payments in good faith since then. Yet a couple of weeks ago I received the tax sale notice for the remaining balance, along with a BS $40 fee that I was never warned about. With any other creditor or township I've lived in, I could continue making incremental payments until the deadline (not that any other town has ever threatened a tax sale), but the township wouldn't even take a partial payment at the window with a month to go because it's "in tax sale." So now I have to pony up several hundred dollars that I really don't have, and when I tried to pay the Township MUA through a direct bank payment from my bank, noting my block and lot #, THEY SENT IT BACK TO ME. Apparently, I no longer owe the money to them, but the township. Adding to the confusion is the tax sale notice came from a different authority than who the money was really owed to, and didn't so much as include a related account number. Yeah, a little common sense and compassion is needed here, when someone is already making payments and there's a month to go before the tax sale date.

Just in the first couple pages I see...
$54.33 taxes in arrears...and
$83.72 GTMUA payment in arrears.

This results in an 18%-interest lien against your home.
Can any sane individual question why we all love to live, work, and play in Gloucester Township?

The Township already bills you for interest if you are late. So why is the tax sale necessary. I can see if someone is seriously in arrears, but for the small amounts ant short late periods, this is really terrible.

this township is run lousy, i never been late in 12 yrs, an i was only 18 days late waiting for my social security check to pay 456.00 an now they had to charge 40.00 more an would not waive it i hope we can run these jerks out of office. how dare they try to steal someone house for this amount or smaller. its a new meaning for the word crook.

Go see for yourself just how much your elected officials care.

Feel free to pass it on.

Cardis says he sends out two rounds, Why is it I never received any of them rounds. As far as I know the Navy Federal didn't receive any notices either.
Long as he gets his 70K why should he worry about what any of the people really get.

This Township should be ashamed of themselves!!! I know , for a fact, how ALL of our Township Representatives and Mayor and down the line live. They are the ONLY people receiving raises and Christmas bonuses. Meanwhile , they moved up the tax sale to further cause pain on the people who's taxes make up "your" salaries and this Townships. Shame on you all that you would put a lien on someone's 30year home for $60.00 in arrears!!! You're going to tax them 18% on that. Take the damn $60.00 out of your own pocket as I, a nobody, has done , and help them out with a secret Merry Cristmas!!! Do SOMETHING!!!!!! Better yet you will sit with a calculator and see what your Township has brought in?!? You all discust me!!! Happy Happy Holidays to All of You!!!!!! May your greediness help you find the paths to hell! EXAMPLE USED NOT REAL, BUT CLOSE TO MANY OF THEM SO AS TO NOT CAUSE EMBARRASSEMENT!!!

Pamela, don't you think that the over $3.8 million in red light camera revenue, could have supplemented the very temporary shortfall until most people could get caught up on their sewer bill and property tax. It seemed that most of which was due, was GT & CC MUA, as IF they were hurting for money. Keep in mind the GTMUA not only makes money on OUR recyclables, but from other towns bringing their recyclable compost and revenue generating items to Gloucester Township.
Your thoughts or anyone else?

There should be a law mandated to protect homeowners risking their home for taxes. Hell, the mortgage alone is enough but when you've paid off your mortgage, you are still in the same boat being harrassed and penalized for failing to pay high taxes. Today, it's all bout the "Benjamins." "money talks BS walks. It's just not right putting people out their homes because they are behind in their taxes. Then you have elected officials in your Township stab you right in the back. That's why our world is seeing and experiencing so many natural disasters, because OUR GOD is not happy with what he is seeing, the World of People who show no compassion and THEIR GREED THAT FEEDS OFF THE POOR. America is slowly growing into a third world country, where there will be a status of rich or poor.

time for a change from top to bottom
but the same thing will happen as it always does.......

When you watch the council video, do you notice ANY of the Council members, Administrator, Solicitor, or Mayor sensitive to the people of Gloucester Township's needs or situation?
They didn't seem to care that the Governor extended tax payments, or what other towns were doing. They just wanted to "accelerate" the tax sale process.
Then publish people's names on the township website.
Add another 18% as well. What a town.
Use the &$%@#& red light camera money until people can fulfill their responsibility.

On this issue, the township is dead wrong and I don't care what the law is. To put someone's house up for tax sale when someone is less than 30 days late, or for a small amount is HIDEOUS. The law needs to be changed. And anyone choosing to do it needs to find another job.

i wonder if we can find a lawyer willing to start a class action suit against the township an get our 40.00 fees back

Don't forget the 18% that someone will make when they BUY the tax lien from the township or MUA. Doesn't it make you wonder who will be buying those liens?
Make people suffer both the $40 fee + 18%. and they only say it's the law?
Shows how much they really care about the actual real people of this town.

without GTMUA & CCMUA involved
On the other hand there are many banks involved because they sometimes send payments in late and they pay all these fines, charges as it was in my case. But they are supposed to send out warnings about your name going in the newspaper as deliquent and to me I would say these morons in the TWP are screwing with my credit.

Great Blog by Gary Frisch on the tax sale issue. Seems to also know this town very well.........and those who run it.

TAX SALE DAY IN GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP. This should have been postponed like the Council meeting.

and why should they waste their precious time talking about Tax Sales????

Keep in mind that they are naming the replacement for Gentek. They figure that hardly anyone will come to a meeting between Christmas and New Year. Not many show up most nights anyway. That needs to change. But keep an eye on the replacement.

It will be some gofer for that crew .....but comes vote time....they should be voted out but same thing in the election for the big time....he got voted back in....and now he gave us a 1.7% COA ....now isn't he and his CAB wonderful people......
I could say more but won't

oops! typo.... COA = COLA = Cost Of Living Adjustment
sorry about that
