Christian and CA American Legion, I love this and so glad that you are working to gain momentum in this country and its government on recognizing the efforts of its Veteran’s and retirees! I am working on the same for Montana. Currently, Montana offers a State Income Tax exemption for Veteran Retirees, but it is based on a tiered system that includes spouse income with a retiree’s income. This means that if a spouse makes a conservative $30K per year and the retiree’s income is $30K per year, then the combined income is $60K…which would be outside the tier to receive an exemption. And, in today’s economy, every little bit helps especially since we’re already getting taxed on our military pension by the federal government! I pray and hope that this gets passed for California! I also pray and hope the rest of the state’s get on board!
In addition to the State Income Tax exemption, I am trying to get Montana to follow suite with many other states and fully exempt their Property Tax for our Veterans! This is the link to my petition if you could share for visibility so that we can get ALL of our states on board with fully recognizing our Military Retirees and Veteran’s.

Don’t hold your breath! It’s getting close to election season so look for all the goodies to be Promised. Remember the old saying, a chicken in every pot. After the election the pot is still empty. A major change it needed in Sacramento. Do not return incumbents to office. None. Nothing will change if you do.
