re: Is it a lie that Rispone wants to get rid of the homestead exemption????

The secrecy now won't bode well later when asking voters to ratify any changes. No way voters will pass changes to the homestead exemption. There are to many homeowners and elderly on fixed incomes that need/want that tax break given on the first 75K value of their home" currently on the books. So if their home is worth 150K, then they pay taxes on only 75K of it's value.
