My check from mid-April has not been cashed by the city. It’s the end of May.

I called the Revenue office and they said they process the checks in the order in which they are received. They also indicated it might be a month, two months, or sometimes up to a year.

I don’t understand; in a city desperate for money they’re losing out on thousands of dollars in interest (if not more) because they can’t process checks efficiently. Surreal.
