The Township, upon much complaint from its fellow residents, has long since done away with its Per Capita ($5) Tax, as of January 2006. It was considered an unreasonable nuisance tax.
This resident - while sitting with an ill friend and his wife throughout the holiday - returned early January to forward a check for $5.00 that had been sitting on the desk. It was mailed January 4, 2006 - the day after the death of her friend.
One week later, the check was returned with this note:
"This ($5.00) tax was due in December 2005. This has been forwarded to [collection firm] for collections."
