At their April 5 meeting, the West Marlborough supervisors reviewed a two-page list of residents who hadn't paid their 2010 $10 per capita township tax.
"This is the longest I've ever seen," said Supervisor Michael Ledyard.
Township secretary Shirley Walton suggested that because the tax bill includes both school taxes and the relatively tiny per capita tax, perhaps many residents simply sent the bill to their mortgage company for payment without noticing the additional tax, which the mortgage company doesn't pay.
The supervisors briefly weighed the cost/benefit ratio of collecting the back taxes, but agreed to have the township solicitor draft a letter to send to the residents.
And no, I don't know who the delinquents are, so don't even ask.
