Rep. Cheeks must think Wayne County has too much money. I've scanned through this bill and then went to the Wayne County website. Under Rep. Cheeks bill, Wayne county would have to use certified mail for all its delinquent notices. It looks like about 5 mailings. Certified mail costs @ $4 more for each piece. According to their website, they have about 160,000 delinquent properties, at least for the first mailing. That's an additional cost of $640,000 for the first mailing. By the last mailing, they were down by about half. That's only an additional $320,000. Let's add $600, $500, and $400,000 for the mailings in between and we come up with an additional $2,500,000 in postage costs alone -- annually! Let's toss in another $250,000 for changing the publication from the Legal News to the Free Press, and adding another week. Plus finding 11 x 15 flurescent paper -- I'm sure that's a custom item. Add in the purchase of an office printer that can handle such outsized paper. And printing 100,000 pictures for the court file. I think another $3 million annually should do it. Now, Wayne County may not be the most efficient county in the state, but I'm betting the Treasurer doesn't have an extra $3 million in his office budget. No worry; I'm sure Rep. Cheeks will be glad to tell the County what services they should cut so that she isn't embarrassed again by having delinquent taxes. What an idiot!
