This bill says that, as long as I pay my property taxes, I can allow my building to fall into complete disrepair and blight, and no one can do anything about it. That's not fair to the neighbors! For many of these properties, since the value is so low, the taxes aren't much. Blight is contagious. As long as the city follows due process and notifies the owner, it should be able to complete a demolition order on a dangerous building.</description></item><item><title>2008 House Bill 6186 (Prohibit placing non-tax delinquent property on city “demolition list” )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/235260.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2001 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:235260</guid><dc:creator>admin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/235260.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=235260</wfw:commentRss><description>Introduced in the House on June 3, 2008&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.michiganvotes.org/2008-HB-6186'&gt;Click here to view bill details.&lt;/a&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
