Lucas,
"The property tax is forcing people out of their homes. And people will vote with their feet and leave because they can't afford the tax anymore."
That's what Andrew had to say at the Cap NY Property Taxes kickoff event this past Tuesday in Nassau County. It was a powerful start for our new bipartisan effort to secure urgently needed tax relief for New York families.
Watch Andrew speak out against New York's out-of-control property taxes.
Andrew was joined at the event by Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, a Republican, and Yvette Gutierrez, a homeowner who talked about her struggle with New York's skyrocketing property taxes.
Because our property taxes keep increasing year after year, so many hard working New Yorkers like Yvette are forced to take on an outrageous, ever-increasing burden.
That's why Andrew Cuomo introduced a new plan to cap property tax increases at 2% or the rate of inflation -- whichever is lower. Now it's time to put this common sense solution in place.
See highlights from the Cap NY Property Taxes kickoff event.
The Cuomo Tax Cap needs your support to get through our state legislature. Please get involved today and make sure New York homeowners get the tax relief they need.
Thanks,
Andrew Cuomo 2010
