Tax lien system blamed for blight in Indianapolis

[Dennis Weber]

It was kind of strange opening up the paper this morning and finding myself in a photo (the guy in the blue shirt behind the guy with his bid card up} blaming the Marion Co tax sale investors for the blighted communities in Indianapolis.

I think the article makes some good points, though.  A vacant house that goes to sale time and time again and stays vacant for 5-10 years is not worth it for anyone.  Maybe a large city should sell deeds, instead.
