Community Services Administrator Sumedh Bahl proposes mandatory home inspections if you want to sell your home. What is the motivation for this warrentless search? It is quite clear from the video that the reason is additional city revenue.
The problem with our government is not insufficient revenue it is the inability of administrators like Sumedh Bahl to control expenses. AnnArbor.com presented a graph of the city property tax revenue on January 31, 2011( http://www.annarbor.com/news/city-income-taxes-can-be-volatile-unreliable-during-recession-grand-rapids-case-study-shows/ ) The graph shows that the city tax revenue has increased by almost 50% from 2001 to 2010.
We need to ask the position of our Council members; do they support this invasion of privacy, this increase in taxation and reduction in our home values? Will they support the citizens or the administrators that only think of methods to expand their empire at our expense?
