State Tax Board backs break for low income homeowners
An official from the Franchise Tax Board urged a new property tax relief for low income homeowners in California. The proposal would exempt part of property taxes for elderly households earning under 16 000 dollars with home values at 30 000 dollars or less, drawing criticism that age should not be the sole criterion. The advocate argues for tax relief to help seniors remain in their homes, while opponents call for spending controls to prevent shifting burdens onto middle income taxpayers.

Presidents in a talking picture spar over policy and fate
