Time for the state to eliminate taxes
To the Editor,
Vermont is one of the few states that still taxes military retirement and survivor benefits. This outdated policy puts our state out of step with the vast majority of the country and fails to recognize the sacrifices made by our military members and their families. It’s time to change that.
Military service is unlike any other career. Service members and their families make sacrifices that most civilians will never fully understand. They leave behind their homes, face dangerous deployments, and live with the physical and emotional tolls of their service.
