Hamilton County commissioners might get a chance to consider how to alleviate the impact of property taxes for senior citizens.
With the possibility of a 34-cent property tax rate increase looming, many residents have been speaking out about the impact rising taxes can have on those living on a fixed income.
County Commissioner David Sharpe, of District 6, said he plans to introduce a resolution at Wednesday’s commission meeting that would propose a plan to alleviate the burden on seniors.
The issue of seniors on fixed incomes is certainly a hot topic of conversation, Sharpe said. “Folks are concerned about their ability to live on a fixed income and pay their taxes. I have every intention of addressing it.”
Sharpe told the Times Free Press that he was exploring a few options, but hadn’t settled on what he thought was ideal.
