The Boston Globe reports on the lucky duckies,the seniors:
Thousands of Massachusetts homeowners who are at least 65 years old would get a break on their property taxes under a measure moving forward on Beacon Hill.
The legislation is designed to help seniors, many on fixed incomes, who are straining under rapidly growing tax bills, as residential property values continue to explode across the state
The Globe reminds us the tax break isn't just for those with a house below the median home price in Massachusetts:
Seniors who own houses worth as much as $750,000 would be eligible for the tax break
I guess the tear jerk appeal is amazing.Joe Six pack who's 28 years old struggling to raise a family can't get free Viagra or discount movie tickets or this nice tax break.
John Rawls style justice?
