Our nations birthday has passed with all its fanfare and it is now mid-July. School Tax bills will soon be arriving at property owners residences only to be opened with much chagrin and disgust. The current State administration is well under way with much progress. We have witnessed an on time budget, a 2% property tax cap and an ethics reform bill but so far we have seen no progress in the most critical issue of all, unfunded mandate relief. It is imperative that news of any progress, except the formation of another committee, be put forth to all the media to keep the taxpayers informed. It is important that any progress or set back be responsibly reported to keep the administration transparent and the electorate current in order to make informed decisions in the 2012 elections. Abnormally high School Taxes are the number one factor for New York's economic crisis. We are driving businesses and homeowners to other states due to high taxes and unreasonable regulations. The effect of these actions will erode further the already dwindling tax base in our state. We must start immediate public negotiations with all parties concerned in order to give all New York taxpayers hope for the future.
