2005 House Bill 4072 (Tax break for horse boarding and training facilities ) (Senate Roll Call 432)

Passed in the Senate (31 to 6) on June 1, 2006, to classify as agricultural real property, rather than commercial property, horse boarding and horse training facilities, game bird hunting preserves, and farming operations that harvest cervidae (deer, moose, or elk) born as part of the farming operation. Agricultural property is exempt from the local 18 mill school operating expense property tax, and is exempt from the Proposal A taxable value "pop-up" upon a transfer of ownership if it will still be used for agriculture.

3) WHAT? [by Anonymous Citizen on May 24, 2006]
Why don't you idiots in government just give EVERYONE a tax break that way everyone would benefit from your stupid bills.Tell me why horse racing, or anything having at all to do with horses need any kind of a tax break. I guess I just don't get it anylonger. Fire all government elected officals and start over.
