7WWe W, <br /> . 'uv Il -'N ..uf . $ lip � x,"§� + ^. 6,. <br /> Mary Boyle , 16 1 s' Court SW, an employee of the Council on Aging, fully supported <br /> the " Save Our Seniors " additional homestead exemption and noted that it would enable many <br /> seniors to better afford the higher medical expenses , usually prescriptions drugs , that they <br /> incur. She felt that this would be a fair and compassionate law with a minimal impact on the <br /> taxpayers who have already indicated their support of the measure . She also requested that <br /> the Board reconsider the measure . <br /> Kelly Mather, President of the Council on Aging , noted that the program would <br /> provide one step toward keeping seniors in their own homes . <br /> Stephen MacNamee, 428 Bimini Cay Circle , stated that he would not qualify for the <br /> extra exemption but believed that we must seize the opportunity to help persons less <br /> fortunate . <br /> Gloria Pfund , 4456 60 `' Court , asked the Board to show their respect for the voters <br /> and the seniors . She commented that seniors will be the first to invite you in and offer you <br /> coffee or cake , which may be the last thing in their cupboard until the next paycheck arrives . <br /> She wanted to know who would stand up for us when we are seniors if we don ' t stand up for <br /> our own seniors now . She felt this was a worthwhile program and asked the Board to <br /> reconsider. <br /> Tommy MacDougald , 3260 43 `d Place , spoke in favor of the program on behalf of <br /> his mother and his mother- in - law . <br /> MAY 159 2001 <br /> G � �.
