In a scathing indictment of the state’s tax collection efforts, Montgomery County officials revealed that a staggering 99.52% of taxes levied in the last fiscal year were collected, leaving a paltry $30,000 uncollected out of a whopping $6,324,653. While Council President Frederic P. Lee hailed the achievement as ‘extraordinarily good,’ it’s clear that the system is still plagued by loopholes and lapses. The revelation raises questions about the effectiveness of the tax collection process and whether those in power are truly committed to closing the gap.
