24. "seven of their eight closest neighbors saw their property values rise" They did that in my town.

.

The net result was that everyone's property taxes were published and people were able to inspect everyone who lived around them. It turned out that all politically connected people and certain employees and management of state, county and township boards were given reduced assessments while their neighbors taxes were raised. This was the work of a third-party tax assessing firm that was working with the township's tax assessor.

This forced a reversal of the town's tax assessment to the last stable version and then a FREEZE on assessments for 10 YEARS!
