The list of foreclosures gets down to a small number eventually, but the first publication is large. After a few years we all have heard all the excuses. If somebody doesn't like the way the tax dollar is spent, then run for Mayor, get a campaign going. It is possible to make a difference, at least go to City meetings and testify. Now, they've got to sell their house of 40 years because they can't afford the taxes and eat etc.
Government creates nothing but debt and misery for the people.
There is only one way to end this mess that we have in the states. They made a mistake at the end of 1999. Instead of sending the escrowed money to Wayne County, they sent a check to me, with a note saying that it was the overage in that year's escrow account. I didn't think anything of it, since at the end of every year I either get a small check, or a notice saying there's a small deficiency. They are responsible for covering Wayne's new fee.
