Mass illegal migration has been tough on the finances of small cities and towns throughout the U.S.

So, many of these towns are raising property taxes -- through the roof.

South Portland, Maine, which has seen a mass influx of illegals flown in by the Harris-Biden administration, has raised its property taxes for residents 25% in the last five years as a result. Some have seen hikes as high as 60%. Spending for illegals and their NGO "services" keeps piling up, always going higher than the previously promised budget for them.

One of the FEW things government is supposed to do is secure our border. They've done just the opposite, they hand out BILLIONS of our tax dollars to millions of illegals, handing out tax paid gifts, prizes, food, housing, benefits, you name it.

It's all lies and were all being robbed at gun point by these corrupt SOBs running government at all levels.

If everyone resists and buries the assessors office and the courts in complaints contesting the valuations this shit will stop for a few years.

In our county the head tax assessor position is an elected office. We need to take control.

Sounds like the first steps of a reasonable plan. Have you put together a crew with a Start Date?

I hate all Democrats

Wish they’d all due in painful accidents at the hands of illegals.

That mayor should have been immediately fired by the city council (if that’s how they would do it there) for saying something like that. He must think every citizen there is a fool.

My property taxes are reasonable. I have no sympathy for higher than justified tax rates.

[Bobbyvotes]

Property tax is local operation. We pay federal taxes to protect country’s borders. Biden/Kamala have done a piss poor job.

[Valpal1]

No but our county GOP is working on one, just got an email from them. Which is where I got the Youtube links.

It’s a rural county and the newspaper is owned by oos liberal interests and there is no local tv station.

Just finished writing a few nasty grams to a couple of state officials.

[dragnet2]

You’ve already made it clear you support punitive property taxes. You’re on the government payroll in one form or another, right Bobby?

[Valpal1]

Just wait till your valuation is inflated beyond any rational connection to its actual market value.
