Issue Position: Property Tax and Barriers to Home Ownership

Issue Position

Seniors in the community are being affected by property tax, in which they receive no direct benefit. I believe that the system needs to be reformed to provide tax breaks for seniors and those who do not have any children in our schools.

Taxes on homes are too high and that makes it harder for working families to enjoy the dream of home ownership. With rising student debt and low wages, working families have a tough time saving for that down payment and often times it is too big a barrier to overcome. I do believe there are some common sense initiatives to help remove some of these obstacles and I plan to work hard to pass those initiatives in the House.
