[NFBF-L] Property tax exemption

[Marilyn Baldwin]

Wendy, I understand completely what you are saying about the Property Tax Exemption and people who have limited resources and are blind or otherwise disabled. The cost of home ownership is increasing all of the time, leaving many people as renters or sadly homeless. Any assistance to homeowners that the State can provide may make the difference between someone remaining in their home or being evicted for not paying these taxes. Covid and unemployment has made things more difficult for many low income homeowners in our State.

I am also a widow and do not have a partner to help with my bills. It is a hard world out there at this time for many people. Therefore, I am extremely grateful for any help that I can receive in keeping my home and having food on my table.
