    SB 5256 formerly HB 1102

    Why hasn't the Governer signed this legislation. Her husband is a Vietnam Vet.At every Photo op at election time, she will claim her concern for veterans. This legislation wil exempt VA copmpensation not to be counted as income.It will assist those 100% DAV severely wounded veterans; with combat disabilities, to fend off the ever growing tax burden to the property they own. Instead, the Governer signed SB 2488 to entittle dommestic parteners to quilify for the senoir tax exemption. Lets see.... Where are the priorities? I can serveve my country and incurr severe lifetime disabilites(gunshot wounds) and the Governer cannot sign that legislation for a DAV exemption. However, the Governer can take time to sign a SB 2488 concerning legislation for domestic parters to to share in the same type of senoir property tax exemption. HuH.
