Why do taxpayers have to foot the bill??
Send the bill to her record label & tell them to pay it.
“Why do taxpayers have to foot the bill?”
Considering that this is Newark, the “residents” aren’t necessarily the “taxpayers”. Some sections have taxpayers with a stake in the city (and a tax bill to prove it); a much higher number haven’t paid taxes since they were born (even the sales tax they pay is borne by us taxpayers anyway).
“NJ residents miffed over bill for Newark” - that’s more like it.
