There isn’t anything to “crack down” on. Those are simple and legal tax exemptions for non-profits such as religious institutions. If the law is changed, it would affect non-profits statewide.
With a disparity like that, it behooves the state officials to look into it. There are some large Monasteries that may be causing the disparity, though. 🙂
End story is, I don’t disagree with you, Joe. But cutting non-essential services is just kicking the can down the road until there are no more services that can be cut.
