Blum should step down as Mayor and apologize to the people of St Clair. He is a joke.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this guy still in office ? He should man up and do the right thing. If your going to run for public office you should be legit and above board not the other way around.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm just a "literal" person, but the above statute says "unpaid city taxes"...... I believe personal property is a county tax. Therefore, nothing illegal has occurred.

DeleteThe county collects the taxes, which in part go to the city which makes them municipal taxes. Also I do believe when the assets left the corporation, and transferred to a private party, sales taxes are due, part of which would go to the city.
DeletePersonal property tax also goes to the city. Just like sales yax that should have been paid.
