Uh, so I don't know if you've heard but Mayor Madoni has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residents with addresses and names that might be eligible for his punitive tax.
Kara Swisher
Madoni's administration fired a warning shot last week when it published an online list of property owners that might be subject to a surcharge on luxury second homes.
The release of the list threatens to stir up existing tensions between the mayor and the city's elite.
It feels like a little bit like doxing. Just tax them and get on with it, is my feeling.
