Permanent Defense launches Homestead Exemption Center

NPI's Permanent Defense last week launched its Homestead Exemption Center, opening up its 2005 campaign to enact real tax reform for Washington State. On the Center's main page is a description of what the Homestead Exemption is:

The Homestead Exemption is tax reform legislation - basically, it's a proposal that would shield from all state and local property tax a portion of a household's primary residence, equal to 20% of the local county's median property value.

A Homestead Exemption would reform the tax structure because middle and lower income families currently bear most of the tax burden. This proposal would deliver tax relief to the majority of homeowning taxpayers in Washington State.

We encourage you to take a look at the Homestead Exemption Center and see what Permanent Defense is doing to oppose Tim Eyman and fight for tax reform.
