I can't wait till they all get fucked in the ass due to falling property tax assessments. Some taxation bodies I'd like to see get there ass kicked include: detriot, MI (detriot has lost the right to be capitalized like any other normal noun.)

Just about every city & town in jersey Philadelphia, PA and whatever shithole county or municipal government that has been raping their citizens for years by leeching off excessive property appreciation.
