I disagree. I believe the answer is A) Put the names of delinquent taxpayers in the local paper. It's a common strategy used to prompt payment.

B seems like the way to go. Garnishing wages is a classic move. Although, I did hear a story about a local government using a cannon to collect back taxes. Now that's a real power move!
