50-year resident foreclosed and evicted

There is a lady in her 70s on Heron Ave who was evicted today after living in the Springs for fifty years. All of her belongings and furniture are in her front yard. This puts a FACE on the foreclosure crisis. Gym says hes only aware of ONE foreclosure in the Springs. The Herald said there are currently 151 foreclosures active here in MS, and 22 in VG. Somebody else said today there have been 400 foreclosures here in the last year or so, but most of those people left before they had to be evicted. The police were very helpful but they are limited in what they can do. There WILL be more of these situations happening as the Mayor and Council continue to raise our taxes to support their legacies. Sure, the rising taxes force our longtime residents into the street, but WE have a new 6.8 million dollar gym! Which is more important? Dr. Mel P. Johnson
