County treasurer Connie Javens, who declined to do a recorded interview, says her office is about a month behind processing tax bills because she only has five people to do the work. Javens tells Beaver County Radio’s Greg Benedetti that  taxpayers will not be charged a penalty because her office goes by the postmark on the envelope. Javens says her office has 96-thousand tax bills to process, 26-thousand dog licenses, hunting and fishing licenses, small games of chance and bingo licenses plus other work. Javens has nine people working in the office and not all are full-time. One administrator died and another is on maternity leave. Javens said she used to have part-timers just for the tax season, but that was eliminated from the budget.
