UPDATE: This time last week, Scoop reported that five City Council candidates owed some money to the Guilford County tax department.

As of Friday, two candidates had paid the outstanding balance – sitting Councilwoman T. Dianne Bellamy-Small amd Luther Falls Jr.

The other candidates – Jorge Cornell, Daron Sellars and Danny Thompson – had not yet paid their outstanding bills as of Friday afternoon, according to tax records.

Bellamy-Small owed a little more than $2, according to tax records.

As recently as last week, Bellamy-Small said she had been told she was up-to-date on her taxes. Her $2 bill was originally overlooked in a search of the tax system because her hyphenated last name was entered into the record system two different ways for different vehicles.

When asked about it by Scoop, all the candidates said they were unaware they owed any money for outstanding motor vehicle taxes or interest. In some cases the bills are as much as eight years old.
