Governor Healey and Senator Comerford face criticism for limiting equity theft recovery in property tax seizures.
Governor Maura Healey and State Senator Jo Comerford face criticism for not requiring municipalities to return stolen home equity in property tax seizures. The Supreme Court's Tyler v. Hennepin ruling states taxpayers should only give what is owed, not more. Healey's budget attachment limits equity theft recovery to one year post-seizure, leaving many without restitution. The author suggests filing lawsuits against municipalities and seeking insurance claims to investigate stolen equity and hold municipalities accountable for unconstitutional actions.
