Tax break for aged gains clears Senate in California
A bill by Sen. John Needly cleared the Senate on a 36 to 1 vote to let nonwealthy seniors defer property tax payments. Eligible homeowners 62 or older with incomes at $20 000 or less must have at least 20 percent equity to qualify, delaying taxes until equity matches owed. Supporters say the measure protects seniors on fixed incomes from losing their homes to rising taxes.
