Why would one taxpayer be able to exempt himself/herself from paying their justly assessed real estate taxes due to exemptions and credits duly adopted by the municipality's legislative body? Could a member of the General Court simply record an objection to a House rule and then be deemed exempt from that House rule.? Who would carry out the calculation of the portion of the local property tax bill that would no longer need to be paid by the property owner claiming this ability to "opt out." Personally, I object to paying for EFA payments to religious schools, could I avail myself of this law and decline to pay that portion of my property tax bill attributable to EFA payments?

I oppose HB1400 because it would create a large loophole for tax evasion.
