3. Encourage Mr. Sabree to put all upcoming tax foreclosures on hold until we can confirm that these taxpayers were not unconstitutionally assessed.
4. Remove water bills from the property tax bill and pay compensation to those who have lost their homes due to non-payment of water bills.
5. Revise the Step Forward Program so residents can more easily access these monies to save their homes.
6. Use hardest hit funds to pay off property taxes that are based on unconstitutional assessments.
