Public Hearing on a Statewide Property Tax Proposal

Senate President Martin Looney has proposed a bill that would seek to add a new 1 mill tax on top of our local property taxes. This increase would apply to all houses assessed at $300,000 or more as well as commercial property. The money collected from this increase would go directly to the state to be redistributed – meaning much of it would not come back to our communities.

This bill is being labeled as a “mansion tax,” but in reality, it will affect so many families and homeowners, many of whom do not live in mansions.

I am strongly opposed to this proposed tax and I hope you will join me in testifying against it this Monday.
