<br>
</font>The results of the house tax ballot have been counted and verified. The motion to charge all tenants $2 per month has been
<b>passed</b>. We have been in touch with MIT Housing to iron out the details of when and how this charge can be levied, according to institute rules. The outcome of this discussion is that the additional charge will be
<font size="2">add</font>ed to everyone's monthly bill on Websis, starting <font size="2">
in <b>Fall 2013</b></font>. No backlog <font size="2">will</font> be collected for
<font size="2">the</font> months before that.<br>
<br>
We have ensured complete oversight throughout this process, and the housemasters have been privy to all procedures and vote counts. Should you still wish to verify that your vote was properly logged, please contact tang-government@mit.edu for a confirmation.
If there are any disputes that cannot be resolved b<font size="2">y the THRA, the housemasters will<font size="2"> act as arbitrators.</font></font> Note that due to privacy concerns, you may only ascertain the veracity of your own vote.<br>
<br>
<font size="2">We would like to </font>thank all those who shared their opinions with us. We assure you that all suggestions will be given serious thought, and implemented if they are feasible. A procedure for all residents to be able to access information
about the workings of the THRA in the future, is currently being set up.<br>
<br>
To everyone, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.</span></font>
