New Yorkers pay the highest property taxes in America.
New York 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.
Read the report and spread the word. New York needs to start implementing these changes now.
