Maine mayor tells elderly residents to take out reverse mortgages to pay their soaring property taxes brought on by illegals
By Monica Showalter
Mass illegal migration has been tough on the finances of small cities and towns throughout the U.S.
So, many of these towns are raising property taxes -- through the roof.
South Portland, Maine, which has seen a mass influx of illegals flown in by the Harris-Biden administration, has raised its property taxes for residents 25% in the last five years as a result. Some have seen hikes as high as 60%. Spending for illegals and their NGO "services" keeps piling up, always going higher than the previously promised budget for them.
They don't like to say much any more to voters about all the services they offer to illegals -- their city page on it has been wiped out.
But the locals, particularly the elderly on fixed incomes, have obviously complained.
The mayor of South Portland, Misha Pride, who is probably a Democrat, has just the answer for them: Reverse mortgages.
