Property tax stirs legislators

Posted at 12:28 PM on April 10, 2006 by Bob Collins

House Republicans today put the "taxes" issue in play in the campaign of 2006; an issue that they used masterfully to ride to victory in the state in 2002.

As outlined, their plan provides rebate checks that would equal 10 percent of a homeowner's 2006 property tax bill - with no cap on the relief amount, and the checks would arrive a few weeks before Election Day.

Democrats are also working on a property tax reform plan that uses LGA (local government aid). They say theirs is a long-term solution while the Republican plan is a one-year fix.

Either way, some votes are going on the record soon.
