The Times-Union editorial staff recently submitted the following question to its e-mail list of residents regarding the Property Tax amendment:

“If passed, the constitutional amendment on property taxes will double the personal homestead exemption and save the average homestead property owner about $225 a year. Supporters say government is fat and needs to be forced to cut spending. Opponents say this approach for cutting taxes is all wrong and that the potential damage to local government services isn’t worth the annual savings. What is your view and why?"
