Paying your taxes is patriotic. I think I’ve heard that somewhere. But Democrat Kary Jencks, who just squeaked out a win in a selectman’s race in New Boston, isn’t. Their last property tax bill is three-plus months late and now includes interest due and a late fee.
We have the address but have redacted it.
It appears to be a business and residence, so – maybe the check is in the mail? It might be, but this does not appear to be the first time. The Dec 2019 entry indicates the amount due was transferred to a tax lien.
Congrats on the win, by the way, and might I add the increased value of the property? And that’s the assessed value, not the market value. Forest for the Tree Business, right?
And will you be working to lower property taxes in town so you can afford them or blaming the state and Chris Sununu or some other Republicans?
Did you run on that? I hear you only won by 19 votes, and it seems that passing the buck and the bill might have cost you the race if that was public knowledge.
And no, avoiding taxes does not disqualify you from elected office. It may (in fact!) be precisely the sort of person for a gig that impacts the tax rate. But Jencks is a Democrat, and I’ve never met a Dem that didn’t increase spending and, therefore, taxes to pay for it, which is kind of the point here.
I also think we all know that if you want to lower property taxes in an NH town, the School Board is the place to do that. Wait! Jencks is not just a school board member. She is the board chairman.
You better get those property taxes paid before some poor child misses out on whatever passes for quality education in New Boston. Think of it as your patriotic duty.
