Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yahoo News http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_toilet_paper_check BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - A man disputing his water bill is not being allowed to pay with a check written on toilet paper. Ron Borgna, who is disputing the $2,509.66 bill, wrote a check on floral print, two-ply toilet paper Wednesday. The disagreement began in September 2006 when Borgna received a $422.90 water bill. Borgna claims he was overbilled. With additional charges, penalties and late fees that bill has grown. Binghamton city officials refused to accept the check. After a short argument, Borgna was escorted out of the building, the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin reported. Borgna says he is appealing the judgment against him in small claims court.

dreamtheat81 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would have paid with all pennies - and the rusty, mildey-ridden pennies, not the nice new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 This is what Matthew T. Ryan has done to Binghamton. We are the butt of national jokes. Not really, Ryan just continues the long established trend. You forget the real Joke; Ryan was ELECTED. So who deserves to be the butt of the joke?

Northsider Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Interesting how the media is unable to check it's facts and get the story straight. It was Broome County Receivor of Taxes that refused the payment. Binghamton officials had nothing to do with the "check incident". However, as the media reports it, once again the City of Binghamton is the bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 You must have wandered over from the P&SB site. We covered this two or three days ago! Yes, thank you for your astute observation. However, the AP (Associated Press) picks up on local news and distributes it nationally. But hey, thanks again for your enlighten comment. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as the media reports it, once again the City of Binghamton is the bad guy. If we're really being factual, we'd have to mention that the City of Binghamton abdicated their authority to collect taxes and relinquished that role to the county.
