Issue Position: Increased state aid to lower local property taxes

Issue Position

During the 2016 campaign, Senator Pearson heard clearly that residents wanted local property tax relief. For senior citizens, the car tax in particular was a heavy burden. In the last two years, the car tax is now on it's way to elimination and taxes have been reduced for every resident.

​

In addition, delivering millions in education aid to both Cumberland and Lincoln has not only helped the classroom but has reduced the burden on local property taxes. For the town of Lincoln, Senator Pearson has ensured $7.9MM from Twin River flows to the town each year allowing for capital improvements across town with no local tax burden.

​

Going forward, Senator Pearson want to see local property taxes continue to be reduced by directing additional state dollars to our community.
