SCR 1024- PROPERTY TAX RELIEF

Dear Friends,

SCR 1024 is the proposed Property Tax Relief legislation sponsored by Senator Gould and myself.

Below is an endorsement/email from the Arizona Seniors Coalition:

SCR 1024

OK you people all over the state here is the opportunity that we have been wanting for for years. This bill is similar to Prop 13 in California that was passed years ago to protect seniors against the loss of their homes through taxation. This bill will limit property taxes to 2% a year. Over the past five years our property tax in Arizona has increased by about 6% a year. Now similar bills have been introduced in the Legislature before and have failed. In order to get this bill passed there has to be a lot of home owners putting pressure on their Legislators to get them to support it.

So get on your phone, send an e-mail, or letter, or talk face to face with your state Senator and house members. It will not take more than five or ten minutes and will benefit you extremely well financially. For example the tax on my house is almost $1900 and I expect it to be about $2200 next year. My house in California, similar to the one I now have, would be about $1440 because the taxes could not increase more than 2% a year.

If you sit on the sideline we will miss and opportunity that may not come along again for years. Send this on to your friends to get them involved also.
