Issue Position: Taking Care of Our Veterans

Issue Position

With nearly a million veterans living in Pennsylvania we should all be proud of the sacrifices these men and women have made for our country and to properly honor them, I think there are a few ways the legislature could show their appreciation.

I believe it is important that we remove barriers to providing a Real Estate Tax Exemption for our veterans with service connected disabilities. There is currently a very limited exemption on the books, but those limitations make it nearly impossible for anyone to qualify.

We could also express our gratitude by opening up the Veterans' Preference for State Jobs to ALL honorably discharged or Disabled Veterans.
