Update: citizen comments on Porter County taxes

I'll let the citizen speak for himself:

I have not yet received any information regarding my 2009 real estate taxes. Guessing what I will owe, I went to the treasurer's office with the intent to pay "something" so I won't be hit with a big bill due all at once -- whenever the tax bills do come out.

I was told they cannot accept any payments. They have boxes of checks they cannot process. They have no procedures to do this. But when they do get the bills out, I will be required to pay it all at one time, probably Christmas again! This debacle has gone on far too long! The performance of the county officials responsible for this should all resign -- including the county commissioners. Their performance is absurd and demands dismissal!
