When they say, “More money, more problems,” it seems likely that “bird poop” isn’t what they’re referring to.
Nonetheless, for Naples billionaire and Paychex founder Tom Golisano, bird poop is indeed a problem, and it’s one the businessman takes seriously enough that he’s prepared to withhold $90,000 in taxes.
Golisano, who summers in South Bristol, New York, is strenuously objecting to Canada geese using the lawn of his vacation home as a bathroom.
“This past summer it was horrible,” the 76-year-old billionaire complained. “We’d drive in and find 100 to 200 geese parked on our lawn.”
Presumably, the other half of the “we” in Golisano’s statement is his wife, 44-year-old former tennis star Monica Seles.
“You can’t walk barefoot, can’t play Frisbee, can’t have your grandchildren run around …” Golisano continued. “Here I am paying all this money in taxes, and I can’t use my property because of the geese droppings.”
