Miss Emily is not mentally sound, and everyone is aware of it. They kind of fear her in a way because she isn’t one of them, but they respect her money and kind of just let her do her own thing most of the time because she isn’t really harming anyone. But they need to collect taxes from her. She is rich, yet doesn’t pay her taxes.
Miss Emily is living in the past, and is living in her own little reality where she is exempt from their rules.
