This bill would give more money back on taxes to people who fix up old, important buildings, helping them pay for repairs.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

This bill would help people who own old, important buildings by giving them more money back on their state income taxes. It would make it easier for them to pay for repairs and keep these buildings from falling apart. Some might say this is good because it helps save history and makes neighborhoods look nicer. Others might wonder if this money could be used for other things that help more people. Right now, it has passed one part of the state government and is waiting for the next part to look at it.
