City suffers in Depression Era lack

From The Chronicle Tribune:

"Tax sale may be county’s largest
Property owners have until Sept. 16 to redeem land

The rights to hundreds of properties with delinquent taxes will be on the auctioning block next month, in the Grant County government tax sale.

So far, there are 1,550 parcels on the list to be auctioned. Grant County Treasurer Roger Bainbridge said people have until 4 p.m. Sept. 16 to pay off their property taxes and get them off the list before they can be auctioned in the Sept. 17 sale. After that, the owner can still redeem property by paying off back taxes and associated fees up to one year later."


Real stories like this defy the lies of local government. The city is in distress, and no positive spin by the Seybold regime will change that.

Who will get ahead in this time? The rich.
