HANNON PROVIDES MORE TAX RELIEF

SENATOR HANNON ANNOUNCES PLAN TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TAX RELIEF TO HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESSES Monday, March 05, 2007
EXPANDING EXISTING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PLAN FOR HOMEOWNERS
Senator Hannon has a plan to expand the size of last year’s property tax rebate program. In 2006, rebate checks for Long Islanders averaged approximately $240 for Basic STAR recipients and $400 for Enhanced STAR recipients. This was in addition to your STAR savings.
Senator Hannon's new “Rebate Plus” plan would triple the size of the property tax rebate check each homeowner receives in 2007 and would quadruple the checks in 2008.
Under the Rebate Plus plan, the 2007 rebates would average $700 for Long Islanders with Basic STAR and $1,100 for Long Islanders with Enhanced STAR.
The 2007 rebate would be in addition to your State STAR school tax savings and the State Rebate check you received last year. The plan has already been passed by the New York State Senate.
