ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Lopez
| just wanted to clarify that | really wanted to recognize the service the Veterans have given by giving them a
larger version of the tax credit but it was clarified to me by much more experienced aldermen that as we have
no idea how many people will apply for this, it’s just not a good idea to do it until we know how it’s going to
impact us. It was also left open that we could re-evaluate the scales of it as we saw the impact from the city’s
budget. So we could allow for a larger amount next year.
Alderman Siegel
While | support this, | do want to point out that | find it ironic that the colleagues that are concerned about
spending and impact on the taxpayer will support this. It is a burden on the taxpayer in a certain sense
although a burden that’s a wise one. It’s the right thing to do for the group of people that we’re talking about. It
is in fact pending so let’s not ignore that. Despite that, | will vote yes.
