Cindy Epps, Pro Measure S and Ken Johnson against.

Regarding measure S I would like to warn all our senior citizens [65 & over] that there isn’t much time to send in your Proposition S Parcel Tax Exemption Application if it wins. The election is Tues June 6 the application has to be in by Thursday June 15 06 thats only 9 days.Very easy to forget to send in on time. Or maybe it,s designed that way so our senior citizens will forget.Also noticed that it,s for tax year 2006 does this mean we have to send an exemption application in every year? Any info would be appreciated by this 67 year old forgetful senior citizen!

Sam,

Yes, you have to remember to send your Senior Citizen Exemption on time in each and every year! You also have to provide personal information that could facilitate identity theft — sort of dangerous in a school area with no guarantee of security of your personal provided information.

The CUSD school board was aware of the problem – just disinterested in doing anything to solve the problems!

Another anomaly, if your wife is under 65, and God forbid you die, your widow will loose your senior exemption due to the annual submission requirement! Sort of a cold, leave no widow untaxed!

I am glad to see people actually sitting down and thoroughly reading Measure S – it is not ready for prime time or support.

Ken Johnson

Thanks Ken, I was wondering the same thing about identity theft. I don’t like the idea of having to send in a copy of my drivers license, medicare card or my birth certificate. Why can’t we do anything right! If you think everybody is out to get you, your right, they are.! Call me a paranoid senior citizen.
