Thankyou for this opportunity to speak to you <br>regarding the Federal Finds Sequestation Program. ie. Federal Cuts to <br>social programs, some of which bring federal funds, like cuts to <br>medicare, Head Start and Medical. This means that billions of dollars <br>would be cut-<br>Cuts impacting the state will also impact the county-as you well know. <br>Occupy is concerned about people displaced by foreclosures. This puts a <br>burden on County Social Services. Occupy has solutions to foreclosures <br>which cause loss of county taxes on foreclosed property which lie vacant <br>and turn to blight effecting real estate values and lowers tax rates in <br>the neighborhood. For example a house on Palette Drive near mine has <br>been vacant for 2 years or more. Property values go down in the <br>neighborhood and so do the property taxes .<br><br>Occupy offers solutions which could increase the revenue stream flowing <br>to the county with the use of eminent domain by the county, establishing <br>a public bank and requiring the Recorder to send Affidavits of <br>Truthfulness to the foreclosing entity.
