Property Tax Cap program debut
Candidate for NYS Governor, Andrew Cuomo crosses party lines to join forces with Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano to introduce a property tax cap.
CAMPAIGN TO CAP PROPERTY TAXES: “It’s not about the politics, it’s about the people,” said state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, with daughter Michaela, at a standing-room-only rally at the Jewel Quinn Senior Center in Brookside School on Tuesday, where he introduced his 2% (or rate of inflation) cap plan on property taxes.
Mr. Cuomo was joined by Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano,
and Bellmore resident Yvette Gutierrez,
in his campaign against excessive property taxes. Mr. Cuomo, who is running for governor this year, has launced a website, www.capnypropertytaxes.com, that lays out his plan. “Government must stand up for the people,” he said. Nassau County has the third highest property tax rate in the country, he said, following Westchester County. Passaic County, New Jersey, is number one, Forbes magazine says.
