Snowbird property tax exemption: Let’s change all factors that for years past have come into play. First, let’s change the Permanent Fund Dividend to something like five years of residency before one is eligible. Now for boomers with a family, that would save a lot. Then, let’s do the same with snowbirds. Let’s change the new, so-called “snowbirds” from age 61 to how about 70 or to 75 years of age before eligible for the property tax exemption. It’s not like the 1950s or 1960s or even in the 1970s. People have come for the free dividend and that is the root of all evil. I only wish I had a half dozen nieces and parents who could come and spend the summer with me and get a library card and enjoy the out of doors.
