Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo wants the governor and state lawmakers to fix what she calls "misguided" changes to the state's Enhanced STAR program.
Citizens can sign her petition online or in person at the County Office Building.
Dinolfo says the program has become so complicated that many seniors are now ineligible.
Starting this year, seniors seeking to claim the Enhanced STAR property tax credit were required to submit an income-verification form to their town tax assessor. Due to confusion over the deadline, and the complexities of the income verification process, Dinolfo says many seniors leaned they could not get a credit this year.
