Donna Howard told the tax-research group that the GOP leaders’ talk of huge property tax cuts is “a disservice to having a real honest and open discussion.” In 2006, Howard’s first session, the Legislature committed $14 billion of state money over two years to buy down school maintenance and operations tax rates by one-third, she noted. Another son, Jacob, starred in football and basketball with the Eagles. Property tax cuts and the recent increase of the homestead exemption, from $25,000 to $40,000, are “beneficial,” she said.
