Buckley proposes substitute tax relief bill in Vermont
Bennington County GOP lawmaker T. Garry Buckley outlines a substitute to Gov Salmon’s property tax relief plan. His proposal adds a $16,000 homestead exemption funded by small increases to sales and motor vehicle taxes, aiming to reimburse municipalities and pressure Salmon on the beverage container ban. Buckley argues the plan will work while Salmon’s faces Senate scrutiny and House approval without a capital gains tax provision.
