Politics on the Hudson

   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.
