Did you actually read what I wrote ? You obviously do not own a home so are probably clueless. Property Taxes have nothing to  do with PERS ? Are you serious ? All our property tax increases are going to fund PERS. And I only gave one idea - Unions go on strike and forego pay for a period of time to get what they want, I am merely proposing the same for property tax payers. And if you read what I wrote, it takes three years for them to foreclose, we quit paying until just before they foreclose, then pay. Sure it would cost a little more in penalties, but it would be a way for us NON UNION people to do some collective bargaining.
