she has been a dr. for 36 years,lives on the river in a big fancy house and has her own clinic!! and tax payers are paying to fix it? wonder who the hell she knows? W T F !!!!

the only way to stop this assinine spending by government, is to bankrupt them !!! witholding on your payroll is not a law, simply a way for government to insure itself of a constant stream of revenue !!! read your w-2 form carefully, for the definition of exempt from witholding,, " did you owe, or do you expect to owe taxes last year or this coming year ???" most americans are overwitheld,, so they didn't owe anything, rather the government owed them !!! secondly, the government uses your money interest free all year, then makes you wait an additional 6-8 weeks for your refund??? so long as you put your witholding monies in an interest earning account & can pay in full, by april 15th of each year,, then you can opt out of witholding !!! you still have to pay social security & medicare taxes...

One of the things left out of this story is that the home is listed as a protected building. Assuming it is listed as a historical structure via RAP?

typical government math... Why doesn't someone wake up and say, 1. Claim damages on your insurance (I would imagine a Dr. can afford insurance) 2. instead of giving $453,000...give her fair market value (which I still dont feel is a taxpayer responsibility)...and then demolish the house or let her buy it back at a reduced price and move it herself (she is a Dr.) at least that way, taxpayers save $225,000....WTF? 3. You live ON the river...you are then shocked when it floods...again...WTF? When do we stop wasting money and let insurance companies and homeowners accept issues that come from their own decisions (living on a river).....
