Catholic Advocacy Network Action Alert

The Catholic Advocay Network sent the following this week:

Your immediate action is needed immediately to promote education tax credit bills in the NYS Legislature. Governor Pataki's budget proposal includes a refundable income tax credit up to $500 for expenses incurred by families for extra instructional services and tuition for their children in grades K-12. Another proposal (S.1939-A by Senator Golden / A.8203-A by Assemblyman Lopez) would provide all parents with a tax credit of up to $3,500 per child, for education expenses, including tuition at religious and independent schools, instructional materials, tutoring, programs fees, etc.

These measures would greatly help all parents offset the costs associated with the education of their children -- in public, religious and independent schools.
