Money to burn? Is there a better way to spend taxpayer dollars?

The city of Gardner recently received 12 property tax bills (separate) for zero dollars. Here is a paper copy of property you own and for this quarter, you owe nothing. You will owe nothing for the entire year because you are tax exempt. Why does the tax collector send out bills for nothing/ Could these properties be listed together and sent electronically or on one bill rather than 12? How much time does this take? Are these the things being looked at to save time and money? How often does this happen? How many other entities receive the same billing? Does the town send it self property tax bills for zero dollars?  Does the treasurer/collector know what they are doing?

Perhaps the selectmen can pay the collins institute $5,000.00 to study this too?
