is spent, people call her to
complain about everything
from bad paving jobs to
high school discipline.
“The tax collector gets the
guff,”’ she says.
Paul Sload, who collects
Marietta taxes, got only
$2,900 from school taxes
last year. ‘‘I'm not working
for half that, I'll guarantee
you,’’ he says.
“I’m not bitter about this
thing,”” he adds, ‘‘but if
we're going to have an
austerity program, lets
start at the top, with the
school administrators. Did
you read in the paper what
they're getting?’
He continues, ‘‘Every-
body is getting raises right
now. Why should they cut
tax collectors? It can’t hurt
them politically, that’s
why. There’s only one tax
collector per community.
That’s why they’re so
brave.”” Mr. Sload says.
He adds, “I'll go on
record right now, and say I
could run Donegal Schools
for half what they're
spending.”’
Mr. Sload is also angry
with Marietta Borough.
Borough Council members
make no bones about the
fact that they are hoping to
eliminate the tax-collector’s
job altogether. The $100
of pay will be so unattrac-
tive, Council hopes, that
nobody will run for the
office. The state-wide
municipal code requires
that the tax-collector be an
elected official, but coun-
cilmen hope that, by letting
the Borough office collect
taxes, they will save tax-
payers’ time, eliminate the
need to check with the
tax-collector to keep track
of funds, and possibly save
money.
““This is an elected
office, and it should be
abolished by the vote,”
counters Mr. Sload. If

the low pay, he can expect
to make a total of $2,000
for a year’s work. ‘‘I
worked 15-20 hours a week
when I kept track,” Mr.
Sload warns. ‘‘That was a
slow month.”
There is one good aspect
to Mr. Sload’s job. Mari-

unusually understanding,
‘““I have no complaints
about the taxpayers,”’ Paul
Sload says.
