Christeen Stone, 96, of Maplewood, brought several senators and staff members to tears when she
testified February 2 in the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Finance and Policy Committee. Stone,
whose late husband, Victor, was injured in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II, spoke in support of
a bill authored by Sen. Chuck Wiger of Maplewood. The bill would give property tax relief to disabled
veterans or their surviving spouses. Stone said this measure will help disabled veterans or their surviving
spouses stay in their homes. The bill was approved and sent to the Senate Tax Committee for
consideration.
