ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Tompkins County lawmakers will consider helping older residents with property taxes.
A public hearing will occur at the beginning of the full meeting of the Legislature on Tuesday, Feb. 17 on a proposed law to increase the maximum property tax exemption for low-income seniors.
Legislator Christy Bianconi first introduced the legislation earlier this month to authorize a public hearing. For her family, the issue hits home.
