Death and taxes, taxes and death
Glen Mallette Sr. is only 83 years old, so I guess there’s always a chance he will live long enough to see the value of his home return to a respectable level.
But he has labored under the impression that his property taxes were going to go down along with the value of his home, which has dropped 50 percent in the past 24 months.
”My house value went down 50 percent and my taxes went up 17 percent,” Mallette says.
And no one, but no one, seems in a hurry to come to the aid of this octogenarian and many other seniors like him who are trying to remain afloat while making sense of this brave new world with such strange logic in it.
Know any other examples you’d like to share?
