...some deteriorating neighborhoods is Diane Roberts' three-story wooden frame house in Dorchester. Its market value is only $17,500, yet she is paying $1,472 a year in taxes. These rates have moved some 12,000 Massachusetts homeowners to join a mostly blue-collar group called "Fair Share."

Outspoken as Bunny is, there is no indication that their marriage, on its own terms, is anything less than happy. "Paul and I both share a way of life," she says. "People think that if you have lots of money, you miss all the good things. But I guess we've got our cake, and eat it too." Paul calls Virginia home, and on weekends he rides as much as he can. Last month, riding on a mount called Christmas Goose, he won, for the fourth year, Virginia's famous 100-mile ride, a three-day exercise that...
