They'll never leave you alone

Back when I lived in Washington State, in Pierce County, the auditor literally told the taxpayers something like: "I am going to assess your homes for the MINIMUM value. If you think it is worth even less, write me a letter, AND I WILL REDUCE ITS VALUE ACCORDINGLY." Property prices were easily 3x the taxable value. People who complained about property taxes on public forums would see their assessed values drop the next year. He even went out of his way to find retirees and elderly people with difficult living circumstances and assessed their properties at much lower values. Needless to say, the city of Tacoma HATED him, but the residents loved him.
