Letter: 'Can't Fight Town Hall - Well Seniors, Let's Try!'
Joan Fortuna asks fellow senior residents to attend the Dec. 17 RTM meeting, during which the Senior Tax Relief Ordinance will be discussed.
Can’t fight Town Hall, well seniors, let’s try!
Wake up and start calling your RTM representatives. A small group of RTM members have been meeting over the last few months trying to come up with a better tax relief program for seniors and the disabled.
Many states have very generous programs for seniors. New Jersey freezes senior’s taxes at age 65. Florida has a Homestead Act. Texas freezes taxes at age 65. Fairfield has not made many changes in years and now with the high taxes, seniors (and others) are having a hard time keeping their homes.
