He said he was making approximately $23,000 beforethe flat rate went into effect. The township pays on a per- centage and Luzerne County pays a flat rate. Kozick collects all real estate and per capita taxes for the district. ah He said he is tired of fighting and will not pursue an appeal. “I | waited five years for this decision, I'm not going to appeal and wait,” said Kozick, who has been the | Dallas Twp. and district tax col- lector since 1978. 5 | ‘Reese, Dallas Borough collec- tor, said he did not know yet if an appeal would be filed. “We thought we were unjustly cut while every- one else got raises. Personally, I was cut 60 percent (of my earn- ings) per year,” said Reese, who recently celebrated his 32nd year J as tax collector. Soh Before the flat rate, he earned $14,000, now he earns $6,000 from the district. “The only reim- bursement we get is for postage and paper,” he said. “We'll have to sit down and see what the options are.” Eid Daubert of Franklin Twp. did not run again and in no longer a. | tax collector.
