Arlington’s Picture of Tax Collection

michael.neubert writes Arlington’s Picture of Tax Collection: The Washington Post had this story in its Sunday edition – the primary focus
isn’t on libraries, but on collecting taxes owed to Arlington County (Virginia).
But wait! Not just taxes, but also overdue books (the article says that the point
isn’t to get fines, but the books).

“It’s not like we’re sneaking around public thoroughfares,” said Arlington Treasurer Francis X. O’Leary. “But you go and you take their tags, and you can imagine their stress. Well, we’re pretty upset, too. These people are scofflaws.”
