The Democrats' program also
calls for increasing the senior
citizen tax relief base to $10,000
with partial state reimbursement
to local governments and
passage of a "class-action- bill

supported the matching funds
proposal for mass transit which
means homeowners will sub­sidize
the fare box on the Long
Island Railroad to the tune of $12
million next year; and delivered
the votes to kill a bill that would
have given five percent interest
on mortgage escrow money
accounts.
