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.
