Tax discount on school taxes amid Ramsey board dispute
Ramsey issued a 1 percent discount on current school taxes paid before August 1 with checks due by Friday at the treasurer Ira Ramsey’s office. Attorney St. Young, chairman of the school board’s finance committee, asserts the board alone has no role in granting discounts and that tax collection duties lie with the elected treasurer. The board notes $28,000 in delinquent 1924 taxes and urges their pursuit, while cautioning that rebates and delinquent handling are treasurer duties governed by law.
