• Tax exemption approved for spouses of police officers killed in line of duty (midhudsonnews.com) — Meeting at the historic courthouse in Carmel, Putnam County legislators unanimously approved a new property tax exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty. The measure, limited to county taxes, signals local support for law enforcement families while leaving towns, villages, and school districts to decide separately whether to follow suit.
