Some pointy headed policy dude, or dudette, should put out a bounty on a one size fits all property tax cap for all states. Yes, we know it’s virtually impossible given that every state is different, but wouldn’t it be nice? From WNYC:
New York State lawmakers ended their session nearly a month ago, but legislative leaders were back in Albany yesterday for discussions with Gov. David Paterson. Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver sat down with Paterson to talk about issues including the fiscal problems facing the state and the governor’s proposed property tax cap.
While Skelos’s predecessor Joseph Bruno was against a cap on the state’s property tax, Skelos says he’ll call his members back within the next month to vote on it.
