Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposal requires the county legislature to adopt the exemption, but towns, villages, and school districts must independently review and vote on it. County Treasurer Kevin Andrews noted that while the county has made conservative estimates, there are no solid numbers available on how many veterans would qualify for the full exemption.
