Bill Doland's article in Today's Times gets as cutting edge as the Times advertising income or lack there of will allow. The Times just doesn't want to piss off Hammond's Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr, the Ex-Lake County Chairman. See during election year, Tom spends a good deal of money decreasing their red inc.

Lake County Treasurer John Petalas said:
"The ones whose owners won't pay go up on tax sale. Sometimes those are sold to a new owner, but most of the time they are redeemed by their current owners, but they often go into arrears again for the next two years."

The next tax sale hasn't been scheduled, but usually is in early autumn.
