Kingston Daily Freeman article 6/20/2011<br /><br />Jean Jacobs Response to this article:<br />Andi Turco Levin: Do you realize that the City of Kingston is facing a rapid fiscal decline and property owners are working two jobs to make their expenses. We should be arriving at solutions to cut the taxes and holding home owners and landlords accountable to maintain their property. Once again the homewoner will take the burden for others who are not taking responsibility of their own property. Currently the homeowners are making up the short fall for all of the properities that are off the tax roll. This percentage is rising every day and presently close to half of the properities in the City of Kingston. This is not fair and equitable distribution. A careful investigation should be in place and yearly audits to make sure they remain tax exempt. There are strict rules and regulations that govern the tax exempt status, which should be monitored annually. Take an accounting of the tax short fall that the County had to make whole this past year MILLIONS when homeowners cannot afford their taxes.

Garage sales, tree planting, smoking in parks can't compare to the real issues facing the city. There is NO money to run this city. Jean Jacobs you are qualified and ready to be the next Mayor in the City of Kingston. Good Luck to a LIFE LONG true Kingstonian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
