Statesboro City Councilman Will Britt did not pay $2,074 he identified as penalties for late city property taxes for 2010 and 2011 — until last week, while the GBI is investigating possible mishandling of funds at City Hall. Britt included a letter with the two tax penalty payment checks, one for $1,119.26; the other for $955.17, that he delivered Tuesday to interim City Manager Robert Cheshire. “Here are the penalties for paying 2010 and 2011 property taxes after the date due. …” Britt began the letter.
