Help for Home Owner
One method of lifting the tax
burden from the small home owner /
is proposed in a bill to be intro

would provide an exemption of .
$4,000 in tax assessments on all |
homes in which the owner resides
and which do not provide rentals /
or other income.

enactment of such exemption would /
slash the tax income derived from
real estate, Ruschapt proposes to I
make up the difference through
sales levy.

tax foreclosure moratorium act to
