Easing Westchester’s tax burden

September
21

U.S. Rep. John Hall, D-Dover Plains, says he has a plan to ease the property tax burden of Westchester County property taxpayers.

Hall’s legislation would allow homeowners who do not itemize to deduct their property taxes.

He plans to unveil the bill during a press conference Monday in Franklin Park in Peekskill at 1 p.m.

    How many homeowners with mortages and who pay property
    taxes don’t already itemize?

    Seems to me Hall has been spending too much time
    with David Crosby, if you get my reference.

    that is a ridiculous idea…you either itemize or you don’t
    if you don’t itemize it means you do not have a lot of
    other deductions and your income is probably not in excess
    of 50m..so John Hall all by himself is going to modify the
    tax code..let him solve the AMT first….before he starts
    proposing adding deductions which are not revenue neutral
    has he asked the office of accounting the net effect on
    the deficit of allowing deductions of property taxes…
    and what about people who do itemize but who are in the
    AMT AND THEREFORE LOSE THEIR DEDUCTION…that is the
    problem and hall needs to get a degree in business
    and economics..
