Bill in Missouri Legislature Would Eliminate Property Taxes for Seniors
Author: internet - Published 2019-01-01 06:00:00 PM - (353 Reads)Missouri Rep. Bill Kidd (R) intends to introduce a bill in 2019 to eliminate property taxes for seniors, reports KTTS . The legislation promises to reduce money for public schools statewide between $75 million and $300 million. Branson School Superintendent Brad Swofford expects educators to oppose the measure. Blair Oaks Schools Superintendent Jim Jones warns the proposal would leave his district with no option but to cut programs. Kidd, though, believes the legislation's impact on school funding would be negligible compared to the financial relief it would bring to senior homeowners.
