Giving any school district the freedom to automatically raise taxes 4% WILL NOT REDUCE SCHOOL SPENDING AND TAX BILLS WILL ALWAYS INCREASE. Add to that 4% the other items that are excluded. For example, special education is has many mandated expenses and that could be an additional percentage. Transportation as well can add to the increase, expecially the bussing for sports and extracurricular trips. Any capital projects repayments on bonds for future renovations/buildings will be costly as the industry costs are going up rapidly. With out a taxpayer vote, we could end up with increases over 5% easily. This cap will NOT cap your taxes at the current rate and we can expect yearly increases. there needs to be modifications and some income qualifying statue added to this cap or everyone will be taxed out of NY even with this cap. Assembly Legislators are jumping on this particular proposal as it is an election year and they ALL WANT TO TAKE CREDIT. This tax cap needs careful review with some modifications.
