SINGLES EVENT Pa. Man Pays School Property Tax With $1 Bills Sep 8th 2013, 10:54 Published September 08, 2013 FoxNews.com One, two ... 6,999, 7,000 ...  An Easton, Pa. man, frustrated over property taxes, visited the local tax office and paid in dollar bills -- all $7,143 of it.  One bill at a time.  Local news reports identify the man as Robert Fernandes of Forks Township.  The scene, posted on YouTube, has generated more than 15,600 views -- in less than a week.  In the video, Fernandes carries a duffel bag filled with bundled bills, which he proceeds to stack on a counter. He brings doughnuts, offered to "anyone who is inconvenienced here today."  The tax collector tells Fernandes his protest should probably be directed elsewhere, toward the school board, maybe, which is in charge of setting property tax rates.  "I'm not doing this to make anybody's life more difficult," Fernandes tells the collector. "Unfortunately, I wish the same could be said, you know, for me and many others whose lives are more difficult for having to pay property taxes."  Click for more from Watchdog.org.
