Pay Down the Debt - Ethics Anyone?

The current Town Board has sanctioned, along with the supervisor and town attorney, the keeping of tax overpayments by our residents and businesses. The Edgemont Community Council (.org) has posted the PDF of who is owed monies by the town. The Town  has not. Some people have notified the residents and businesses they know if they are owed money. The Town has not. Government should not take what is not theirs and should return it if it was acquired mistakenly. The Town has not. The Town is led by the Supervisor and the Town Board. Why are they trying to keep the money instead of notifying the people who are entitled to it? Why not just return the money without playing games?
