New York State needs a property tax cap now!

• New York State's local taxes are the highest in America - 79% above the national average.
• Outside of New York City, 62% of property taxes are school property taxes.
• Property tax levies are rising at more than twice the rate of inflation and salary growth.
• Every day more of our neighbors, college graduates and grandparents become ex-New Yorkers—moving to more affordable states and breaking up our families and communities.

A solution is in sight. Governor David Paterson has a plan to cap school property tax levies in New York State. This cap would limit the growth in school property tax levies to 4 percent or to 120 percent of the rate of inflation, whichever is less.
