While I fully appreciate and support the intent of this bill to ease the burden for low-income taxpayers, the fact is that the City cannot afford the resulting revenue loss, estimated to be almost $73 million over the life of the FY04-FY08 Five Year Plan and at least $80 million annually when fully implemented, and service reductions that would inevitably follow.
