Tax-cap tour to stop in Rockland

August
29

   Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi, chairman of the state Commission on Property Tax Relief, will visit Rockland County Wednesday as part of his statewide campaign for a cap on school taxes. He will give a presentation to the Rockland Business Association on the findings of the state commission this spring.

   The commission recommended that the growth in school property taxes be capped at 4 percent a year. It also called for reducing state mandates and tying taxes to a percentage of household income. Gov. David Paterson has been promoting the 4 percent cap. The GOP-controlled Senate passed legislation this summer to do that, but the Democrat-led Assembly did not.

   The presentation is 12:30 pm. Wednesday at the Rockland Country Club, 380 Route 9W, Sparkill.
