Issue Position: Lowering Property Taxes

Issue Position

Property taxes are driving businesses out of New York State and residents from their homes. We need to look at real solutions -- one example is the circuit breaker tax -- so residents are never stretched beyond their means. We've watched our property taxes rise time and again, but our schools are laying off teachers and cutting programs so drastically that younger children will not get the same opportunities that their older siblings had just a few years before. It's clear we need to rethink how we fund our school system, how we tax, and where that money goes.
