Property taxes

Property tax elimination is the ONE solution that is needed.

Currently, our legislature is trying to come up with a property tax bill.  Governor Braun’s plan, SB1, was crushed in the Senate before heading over to the House, where it now resides.  

We need to act now to support amending (putting) HB 1229 into SB1.  This is our last chance, our “Hail Mary”, to get property tax elimination for ALL homesteads, put into law.

Please print this out, so you understand how HB 1229 works for all of us.

House Bill 1229 is THE PERFECT SOLUTION for property taxes.–it eliminates them — and more!
