What is even more funny is how upset everyone got at BG for reporting it, hmmmmmmm reminds of some other forum which gets hysterical when bad news is report about sprint.


From BG

"I actually just thought it was funny so we published it knowing that we’d get the responses we did… people need to lighten up."

The article:

Five parcels of Johnson County, Kansas land, belonging to none other than Sprint, have unpaid property taxes this year. Sprint is delinquent to the county to the tune of $18,216.54. If you notice a sudden drop in Dorothy and Toto’s readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic scores, you’ll know who is responsible.

In Sprint's billing system there is an account type for government and certain huge enterprise customers. It's called "slow pay."

Or if those targets are too lofty, they could always try to just avoid sounding like immature vultures.

Owait, internet. Strike my commentary from the record.
