I was recently closing out my 2012 finances and reviewed my figures.

My real estate taxes have jumped from $4,123 to $5,127 in a mere four years, a 24% increase or a 5.6% annual increase year over year..

This is mostly driven by the obnoxious, unrelenting greed of the teachers union since they are the largest public sector union in Framingham.
