Alabama Republicans Promote Tax Cuts and Senior Property Tax Exemption in District 5
What happened
Alabama Republicans have promoted tax cuts, noting that over the last four years, the state has cut taxes by $1.5 billion. These cuts included halving the state grocery tax and eliminating state sales taxes on essential baby supplies like diapers and baby formula. In District 5, a local constitutional amendment was proposed to place a senior property tax exemption on the general election ballot, which would freeze property tax assessments for qualifying senior homeowners.
