Re: COUNCIL VOTES: Vacant unit tax allowed to continue while staff collect more data, online edition, Aug. 23The issue this time was voting to continue, and have staff fiddle to simplify the cumbersome reporting process, while supplanting Coun. Laura Dudas’ motion to dispense with the VUT.
Kudos also to Coun. Brockington for his insightful opposition to this intrusion into homeowners’ privacy and affairs. Brockington noted that it’s not council’s place to interfere with how we use our home. City council cannot be allowed to force any owner to become a landlord, if they wish not to be, with the threat of financial penalty for non-compliance. Given the near impossibility of getting a tenant out if you want to sell or occupy the house yourself, this is unconscionable.Article contentAs for directing staff to simplify the reporting process, the city already contacts every owner annually with a property tax bill.
If this intrusive nonsense must continue, at least make it truly less cumbersome for respondents by supplementing an existing process. Get with it staff and council.Article contentWe are so fortunate many of us. While doing a few errands in Orléans, I drove by a young man no older than 25 in tattered clothes, with obviously all his belongings in a shopping cart, walking down St. Joseph Boulevard.
It was such a sad sight to witness, and I have seen a lot in my old career before retiring. Such a waste of a young person and mind who has fallen through the cracks in our communities. However, he is not an anomaly, there are several of these individuals, male and female, who seem to be increasing in Orléans alone. It is a sad reflection of today’s society.
