Remember this when you vote that they don’t take care of veterans. Time to get someone in office that does.

New Jersey and Pennsylvania and several other state already have similar legislation. Get on board NY or we will move.

This passed the Senate side unanimously. I reached out to the Assembly and they didnt like the language so they amended it (A2965A). That passed the assembly committee unanimously by died in the assembly because the senate didnt do an amendment. If the senate this time uses the same language as the assembly, it will get to the governers desk. Call your assembly and senate and committee chairs.

18 other states offer this benefit. Why can’t NY be more Veteran friendly? This is why people are leaving the state. Can’t get this passed.

If the Assembly version, where municipalities can opt out, will be the death of this in practical terms. In conference committee they really need to REQUIRE municipalities to accept the tax exemption. All the other parts of the Assembly version is pretty harmless. Please Senator, give the assembly the parts they want to keep this as a mandate. Otherwise there is no real point.
