Calling all seniors... Baker wants tax relief for seniors

 In the Globe today,

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/27/metro/latest-push-lawmakers-pass-tax-relief-baker-focuses-states-seniors/

a piece about Gov Baker trying to get tax relief for seniors approved in the House and Senate before they leave for summer break. Part of his proposal would double the maximum credit low-income seniors can claim to offset property taxes, double a pair of refundable tax credits people can claim for dependents or child care, increase the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $5,000, increase the thresholds for “no tax status,” eliminating the income tax for more than 234,000 low-income filers, and double the estate tax threshold from $1 million to $2 million.

 

As many of you know, the State is overflowing with tax revenue and no shortage of where to spend the money and on whom. 

I suggest sending Maria Robinson and Jack Lewis an email asking them to support this.

I sent an email to Maria and she responded with, they are pushing for that bill, details to be determined later.

I'm sure she is aware of how many seniors in town could benefit from tax relief, especially now.

The cause is worthy of your email to your reps.
