During the public comment period a resident, Lynn (S7), criticized the Town Board for not supporting a proposed change to the senior STAR exemption calculation. Lynn said she was "extremely disappointed that not one of you could vote in favor" of calculating the exemption on gross amounts and said that the board appeared to "rather support the wealthy."

Lynn also recounted contacting an assessor (name referenced) to clarify remarks about how people might manipulate federal income tax rules and said she was concerned that some residents who need relief are disadvantaged by assessment practices. "If one person gets away with something, the other eight or ten that need it are out of luck," she said, calling on the board to do more to support seniors.

The board did not debate or vote on the exemption during the meeting; the comment was recorded as public testimony. Supervisor (S3) acknowledged Lynn's remarks but the transcript does not show further action or a staff response during that session.
