Please pass this as soon as possible, we are being forced out of New York with high taxes. I wrote a blank check with my life please don’t forget us veterans who have literally given everything and now I can’t work. I was blown up in a ied strike and have severe brain trauma and ptsd. Please pass this so we aren’t chased out of our home from expensive taxes.
