Re:Re: (erielack) Re: Taxes



I always thought that municipalities, not states, taxed property, and that they taxed the improvements to the property, i.e.: tracks.  The reason often given for removal of multiple tracks was "to reduce taxes."

If that is so, two questions:

1) Is anyone paying taxres on the cutoff's land?

2) Isn't there a tax history in Elmira which could help support renewal?

Taxes may not have been a problem on the cutoff since, when active, the cutoff was classified as "main stem."  Class II properties, land outside main stem. was the problem.
