New Yorkers pay the highest property taxes in the nation.
Property taxes are 78% higher than the national average.

New York schools outside of New York City spend more per student
than any state in the nation – an estimated $18,768 in 2008-09.
New York’s per student spending is more than 50 percent above the national average.

The New York State Commission on Property Tax Relief recently
released their final report with recommendations on how to fix this.
It is an excellent report that is very interesting reading. You can read it here.

Take some time and read the report. Spread the word. New York needs to
start implementing these changes now.

I am surprised that there has not been more TV, radio and press coverage of this report.

Are New Yorkers so fed up with Albany that they just assume that the way it is is the way it will always be?
