Latest Version of NYS Budget Bill Excludes the Updated 100% Exemption Language
The most recent version and so far the one that has made it the furthest excludes the updated language that solved most of the issues with the useless bill NY passed in December. Any NY 100% veterans and anyone who cares should immediately get on the horn with their representatives and tell them to get that shit back in the bill asap. All we can do s bitch and moan to the right people. Doing it here won't help us. Below is what I wrote to the senator and Governor feel free to copy paste and edit.

Senator,
I'm writing in regard to the most recent version (C) of the NYS budget bill. Specifically the exemption of the updated language for the 100% veteran property tax exemption. The language included in versions A and B of the bill gave every struggling disabled veteran hope. It finally fixed the out right bad and exclusory language from the original bill signed in December. I suppose it was foolish to for the veteran community to actually get their hopes up that the government could show competence or compassion in anyway. Plainly I'm reaching out to gather any information available on how we can get that language included back in the bill before it's passing and not once more let down the veterans of the state.
I would appreciate some sort of response or acknowledgement of the let down. I know this is not exclusively any individuals fault but an explanation and perhaps some assurance that further language updates to the outright crappy version from December can be implemented would be appreciated.
