Three Long Island school districts have approved property tax breaks for the spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty — a policy that police union officials and families are hoping will be adopted Islandwide.
The Smithtown, Sayville and Connetquot school boards recently adopted the measure after a state law passed allowed municipalities and school districts to provide up to 50% property tax exemptions to widows and widowers of police officers killed on the job.
