The whole purpose of this is to get property taxes down, not to increase the budgets for local officials to raise property taxes. And unless you put the heat on these local officials, they’ll just take the money & pour it into all their pet projects...and its not the way its going to be.” 05:10:09 12Jun71 Nixon walking Patricia in wedding dress to canopy for marriage ceremony.
