Installing J Advisor: Installing Marshal, i fiaj sail Taxing the Elderly Legislators have received a mandate that they must c- i i'ler during their next session . . . property tax relief. A good place for them to start their labors would be in se!ing tax relief for retired senior citizens on fixed Incomes. T- is one aspect of the property tax that magnifies the in e uiiies of the system. The elderly, who may have been paying in support of c'ty and county government and schools through their prop erty taxrs for 40 or 50 years, are discovering that this contin uing drain on their finance is unbearable. They may have sacrificed and scrimped and saved all of thi-ir lives so that they would have a home paid for and In which they could retire. Only on retirement to find out that increasing property values and taxes have all but made it im pfjssible for them to continue living there. When school budgets are presented for a vote these peo llf are being asked to choose between their homes and the K-hools. Most would have no place else to go if they lost their hf.mes so they have little choice except to vote against tax increases. Property taxes for everyone over the age of 65 and with a limited income should be frozen at a figure they can live with. We all know taxes are necessary and expect to be paying them all of our lives. There is no reason, however, that taxes should become such a liability that existence Is an Impossi bility. For that reason property taxes for all persons over the are of G5 should be frozen at a specific amount or at the level they have reached when that person attains his 65th birthday and retires. The state woula then have to reimburse each county for the amount county governments and schools would lose through such exemptions. For example, if the taxes on an elderly couple's home when they reach age 65 are $200 per year, they should be fro zen at that amount until the property changes hands. This way the tax bill on their home would never increase ... no matter how high taxes continue to skyrocket. The next year, if taxes on their property are figured at $250 the couple would still only pay $200. The state should then step in and re imburse the county for the additional $50. The state funds would have to come from increased in come taxes . . . but at least that money would be coming from someone who could afford it and more-than-likely from someone who still has children in school, which the over-65 couple certainly would not. It Is almost criminal that these members of our society haven't already been given some respite from the burden of property taxes. A solution should be foremost In the minds of all leg islators when they resume their duties In Salem. (CENTRAL OREGONIAN). Tanya Tucker; Installing Chap lain! Sharlene Hamlett; Install ing Recorder.
