I have to ask this for the sake of my sanity but what the fuck is the whole he didn't pay his taxes thing about? All I care about is whoever will legalize weed for recreational use to PA, but all I hear is "he didn't pay his taxes and wants to make you pay"

I had to Google it too because I hadn't heard it before seeing it on political ads. Apparently there was some snafu about a non-profit he started and a dispute with the county or township about taxes. It was less than $10,000 and he paid the taxes. This was over 10 years ago. It is a difficult thing to find information about online

Thank you I was trying to find a non bias source and unfortunately couldn't get a clear answer.

Rather than pay the disputed taxes in a timely manner the party allows the taxes for the year to go into arrears.

Going into arrears typically carries a minimal percentage of the total as a penalty that's added to the tax bill owed for that year.

Typically there are a stated number of years of arrears that must be exceeded before the municipality can begin to foreclose because of delinquent taxes.

For example if you are in arrears for 2019, 2020, 2021 and the municipality has a three year grace period, When you got your 2022 tax bill you could pay the outstanding balance and penalty for 2019 and stave off the sheriff's sale for another year.

In most communities there is a "newspaper of record" where tax arrears are posted on a periodic basis. In most communities it's considered "trashy" to be on that list.

I see so that's where the sheriff sale house come from. When I was in the market I seen a house go up for 75k and it was really nice non run down home in Montgomery County. When I looked into it it said you needed to pay the outstanding property taxes on the property to get the sale from the county. I ended it there unfortunately because I barley had a down payment let alone the taxes needed upfront for the house

He was buying empty homes and business’ in Braddock through a nonprofit, and fixing them up. Many properties. A county tax was overlooked for 67 separate properties, under 15,000 for all. It was immediately paid. It’s a mouse fart

That's wild. The commercial says they were 67 different citations, but they didn't mention that was for 67 different properties.

Thats what I've been hearing for years. I don't see why we are dragging ass on legal weed when it just means more jobs and more money circulation in a new market (legally). We need some way out of a recession and everyone is still buying weed so might as well tax it a little to help out PA

Being serious.

True I don't understand what's so hard about showing the proof of innocents. If you are not guilty of fuckery show it its that simple. Everyone has dirt underneath their nails but if it's serious and needs to be addressed at least make it fast so everyone can move on.
