Delinquent taxpayers
I have an idea for the 2006 legislative agenda: a solution for how to better collect taxes from delinquent taxpayers. I can't believe how much some people owe! The state should pursue payments from these people like they do child support from 'dead-beat' parents.

Bryan, I couldn't agree with you more. Meanwhile I hope that you will agree that here in Oshkosh we should be just as vigilant in collecting unpaid property taxes.
I bring this up because Ben Ganther, who was a supporter of yours when you ran last spring, STILL has not made good on his promise to bring his 2004 delinquent taxes on the 100 block of North Main Street up to date. Nor has he paid any payments on his 2005 property taxes for this property, just as a side note.
I would implore you and your fellow council members to see that this delinquency is resolved immediately or file suit against him for same; to not issue a liquor license for this property until his taxes are paid; and finally, to bring an immediate halt to the City of Oshkosh doing business with Ganther Construction on projects where public funds are involved, until such time as his taxes are current. Frankly, I think that is a policy that should be established and maintained, no matter who the contractor is.
This situation is an outrage and to not honor the above requests would be to thumb the city council nose at every taxpayer in this community. Thank you!
