Because instead of the 10% penalty (or 8% increase) Froerer backed off to 5%. <BR/><BR/>Then his buddy, Rep Wayne Harper, amended Froerer's bill from 5% and 45 days notice to 3% (that's a masive 1% increase in the "penalty") and from 45 days to 60 days before the property tax is considered delinquent.<BR/><BR/>Both Froerer and Harper are Realtor/Developers.<BR/><BR/>Wonder where they got their "marching orders"? <BR/><BR/>Please, people. Wake up. Froerer is a fraud! And he represents only his own personal business interests.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all who tryed so valiantly to right these most obvious wrong. And a special thanks to Larry and Sharon who led this effort. It failed, but it was a noble and just cause. We just need much better and more honorable representation across the board.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-26661648736007596712009-02-21T22:48:00.000-07:002009-02-21T22:48:00.000-07:00You go girl!

If you think increasing the penalities will lower your taxes, then you better think again. The government is always looking for ways to get more money from the people. They are not interested in you, only in how much you can pay them. Focus your efforts on proper government spending not on ripping more from the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-84753596551845934512009-02-19T14:06:00.000-07:002009-02-19T14:06:00.000-07:00The County minions are proud to announce that only...The County minions are proud to announce that only a small percentage pay their taxes late. They don't mention that these delinquent taxpayers represent about $14 millon in unpaid taxes in Weber County alone. I wonder what the County would do with about half of that amount right now? We should ask those questions of the County leadership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-38347807684981658542009-02-19T10:44:00.000-07:002009-02-19T10:44:00.000-07:00Yes, and there is one seat open this fall as we fi...Yes, and there is one seat open this fall as we finally have another chance to get rid of Bischoff.

Why haven't our 3 Weber County Commissioners tried to change that? They are supposed to be looking out for their constituents. What a joke, they don't want to see any reform either. Remember that in the coming elections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
