Mitt always likes to mention how he didn’t raise taxes in Massachussets. What he did do was raise fees in the state. He raised the recording fees for documents related to land. So to record a discharge of a mortgage you paid off it would cost over 3 times as much. To record a trust, it would cost almost 5 times as much. A mortgage now costs more than three times as much to record. It was sneaky.
