Contact your local government officials and demand that they drop their membership in these type of organizations that are obviously working against the taxpayers' best interest. This is a shaddow government that we all pay for, yet is unaccountable. The only way to stop this ongoing abuse is to de-fund them by forcing our local government officials to drop their membership in these organizations.

in massachusetts we have "prop 21/2" that limits property tax increases to 2.5% annually without local voter "override".
naturally we have local override proposals all the time. in any case, most overrides fail in local communities, primarily because elderly residents (who disproportionately vote) on fixed incomes kill them off.
calling the votes on random dates and trying to make it as inconvenient as possible to vote failed in too many instances.
the massachusetts solution is to propose a law exempting retirees (thereby keeping them from voting) from the increase, and collect such tax when the estate is settled (inheritance tax). then they call the vote on a friday before a long weekend...
brilliant idea, no doubt thought up by a harvard grad... this being massachusetts, i have no idea of the status of this proposed bill, and will likely hear about it on the front page of the glob after passage... even if rinoromney vetos, at that point an override by both houses is assured.
it will no doubt be a victory "for the children".
anyone from the gaystate know the status of this bill...?
i'm so cynical i'm making myself sick.

It would be a waste of time for me. The big spenders rule here in TX. Thanks for the heads up.

I can hardly wait to see what tax scam they try here in Scam Diego (San Diego) with an over $1.5 billion pension fund deficit. My guess is that there will a gross receipts or city income tax on the horizon. My fellow Texas you have no idea of what oppressive taxation really is.

Property taxes are the most invidious of all taxes, they that levy them steal from that which is fast becoming worthless through aging all the while depleting the resources of the tenant to keep it habitable and, when it is forlorn and decrepit, the same theives send out the codes goons to force the now destitute to bring the decrepit mess up to it's imagined value.
