151 foreclosures in MS

Sundays edition of The Herald indicates that there are currently 151 houses in foreclosure in Miami Springs. These are people who have lost their jobs and are now losing their homes. They are resorting to multiple garage sales to sell any and all of their possessions to keep the lights on and food on the table in a struggle to survive. When the choices come down to food for your family or paying property taxes, which obligation would YOU meet? Property taxes wont be paid and tax revenues will go down significantly. The City Manager projects a 1.3 million deficit for next year. Is this REALLY a good time to add to the tax burden of the residents with payments on a new gym? especially when there is an excellent option that adds NOTHING to our tax burdens? It makes NO sense to me. NONE. BTW, for the 45th time, if I dont sign my name its not me. Dr. Mel P. Johnson
