Perhaps as a service to residents, town hall should be open with extended hours during the last week of the calendar year, rather than only 2 days. Extended hours so residents/taxpayers have maximum opportunity to pay taxes before end of year. Also, would allow anyone with any type of license that requires up to date tax payments prior to issue or re-new. Stuff sometimes happens and residents should have maximum time to address any issues or things that might come up end of year. This would be a very good service from government, who after all is supposed to work for the people.
