Smoketown with 140 returns filed, might as well call Columbia as dead last!!
Attention borough manager (consultant) this is COLUMBIA .
So a medical building at the Lucas building , seams like we try this on every remodel now. Write off ? maybe.
Here we go a medical building at Lucas building for now. Watch the back door for the borough to move there next, this bunch talked about it before.
Poorest zip code with outrageous taxes
wake up people. with close to 1,000 rental properties (not units) in this small Boro... it can't surprise you that we are a Poverty town. The Borough MUST find a way to get rid of at the very least HALF of the number of rental properties in the Boro. Create a tax relief program or something. The hardworking taxpaying middle class is a minority and can NOT afford this craziness. It's outrageous. STOP THE RENTALS. plus the rentals use up all the police dept hours on domestics, drugs and unacceptable behavior. Now I ask "how hard is it?"
Properties pay taxes , same if owner occuplied or rental , with the taxes people will not buy them to live in , be glad they are not abandoned properties , but with the taxes here there will not be a race to buy in Columbia, not to mention the things that our borough is doing. getting sued, expanding the money pit, inexperienced management,favortism, this goes on and on.
$47,000 is poor? I support 5 people in that income. Whatever, money isn't everything! I want out but it's not because I'm poor.
Why so hard on rentals, they pay taxes, they buy in Columbia?? Now the taxes used on private things , the money pit, unneeded lites on 462, over paid manager on the borough ( inexperienced) , how about whats with the hole in the ground on locust. Don't beat the rental they contribute to the town.
RENTALS HAVE NOTHING TO DUE WITH THE IGERANT 7 AND BOROUGH SO CALLED MANAGERS SPENDING.
Can we say MISMANAGEMENT!!
