My Way News Audrey Davison lives alone, gets a $620 Social Security check each month and worries about the sharply rising taxes on her four-bedroom house. Davison, 76, raised her family there and after 43 years, she really doesn’t want to leave Greenburgh.

Greenburgh doesn’t want her to leave, either. Davison, who suffers from arthritis and sciatica and needs a walker to get around on her bad days, said she pays about $12,000 a year in property taxes – perhaps $2,000 to the town – and has already taken out a reverse mortgage to pay her bills.

Talking to Feiner last week at the town senior center, she said, “I would work as long as it was a job where I could sit.”

The town is pushing a program that would let seniors work part-time, for $7 an hour, to help pay off some of their property taxes. “People shouldn’t have to sell their house, move away to a place with less taxes, leave behind their family and friends,” said Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. Davison, who suffers from arthritis and sciatica and needs a walker to get around on her bad days, said she pays about $12,000 a year in property taxes – perhaps $2,000 to the town – and has already taken out a reverse mortgage to pay her bills.

So her tax bill is $12,000.00 per year. Lets see, if she works full time, doesn’t take vacations, or get sick, she will gross $13,440.00. Hopefully this would be tax free. I cant wait to retire.
