Portland erwägt Zwangsvollstreckung gegen Gordon’s Kaminladen

Portland – Die Stadt Portland erwägt, gegen Gordon’s Kaminladen rechtliche Schritte einzuleiten, da das Unternehmen seit mehreren Jahren keine Steuern gezahlt hat. Das hat die Portland Tribune berichtet.

Nach Angaben der Stadtverwaltung beläuft sich die Steuerschuld des Kaminladens auf über 100.000 US-Dollar. Eine Sprecherin der Stadt erklärte, dass Gordon’s Kaminladen bereits mehrfach aufgefordert wurde, die ausstehenden Steuern zu begleichen, jedoch bislang keine Zahlung erfolgt sei.

Der Besitzer des Geschäfts, Gordon Smith, hat sich bisher nicht zu den Vorwürfen geäußert. Laut der Portland Tribune könnte die Stadt Portland in den kommenden Wochen rechtliche Schritte einleiten, um die Zwangsvollstreckung gegen Gordon’s Kaminladen durchzuführen.

Eine Zwangsvollstreckung könnte bedeuten, dass das Geschäft von Gordon Smith geschlossen werden müsste, um die ausstehenden Steuern zu begleichen. Die Entscheidung über eine mögliche Zwangsvollstreckung soll in den nächsten Wochen getroffen werden.
