Property taxes have no place in a free society. That kind of tax is also known as rent payments. If you stop paying the tax the REAL owner of the property evicts you from the property.
The solution is to replace the property tax with a sales tax.
To ensure that the sales tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the state can determine how much someone at the poverty line pays on average in sales taxes every month ie $200. The state then sends a check for $200 to every state resident every month.

Mold and asbestos containment have plagued the building, which also has only about half of its elevators in working operation.

He was briefed that Signal was “permissible” for work use, and “That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration.”
SCOTUS has been liberal since the FDR days. The pendulum has now swung in the opposite direction.
The current SCOTUS is reducing the power of the administrative state and the unelected bureaucrats.
