GARDINER After learning that a newly elected city councilor has failed to pay real estate and sewer taxes since 2014 and 2013, members of the Gardiner City Council on Wednesday called on her to resign.
Penny Sergent was elected in November to an at-large seat on City Council that opened up when Jon Ault declined to seek another term.
At Wednesday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Patricia Hart said she was concerned when Sergent’s name appeared on the list of properties the city has foreclosed on for unpaid taxes.
