Officials’ Relatives’ Names Erased From Tax Delinquency List

The names of close relatives of two county commissioners were omitted from a delinquent-tax notice recently published in a weekly paper in Robeson County, North Carolina, according to The Robesonian. The county’s daily newspaper also reports that the names of the same individuals were wrongly excluded from the list the previous year, and that the practice of protecting certain individuals by deleting their names from the tax notices goes back at least two decades, according to a former Tax Office employee.
