LETTER: Wants senior citizen exemption from school taxes

I have talked to a senator, he said there is a state law (that) when we get 65 years old, we shouldn’t have to pay school taxes. I have had to pay (taxes) twice in one year. They went up both times and I am on a fixed income as most seniors are. I can’t understand it. Our neighboring county, Franklin County, has already passed it about two years ago. The senator told me all the chairman and board of commissioners have to do is pass it. But they say when it comes up they say they can’t do without us. They shouldn’t spend so much money.

Seniors, please go vote. We need a change.

Sincerely,
