CORNING-- Corning city council members are considering a tax exemption for the city's Cold War veterans.


The tax-exemption is a state program that allows local municipalities to take part in if they want too.
Corning already has a tax exemption for active war time veterans.
The exemption would go into effect during the 2009 tax roll.
City council members heard from two veterans both in favor of the idea at Tuesday’s public hearing.
“One person did mention that he didn't expect to have this, he understood that is wasn't a guarantee to have this,” Corning Cit Manager Mark Ryckman said.
Council members will have a final vote on October 6th.
Anyone who didn't have his or her say at Tuesday’s meeting is invited to that meeting for a chance to speak up.
