The Milford Board of Aldermen voted 14-1 on June 1 to authorize the sale of approximately $4.75 million in delinquent tax and sewer use liens to a third party via request for proposal. The properties span at least 15 years of unpaid taxes.

Democratic Alderman Robert Pacelli, Jr. argued the sale provides certain immediate revenue without consuming city legal resources.
