Our NYS government has made no attempt to understand the burdens on NYS citizens paying outrageous property taxes. No thoughtful, logical measures to unburden local governments, school districts. and working men and women have been taken. Tax caps do not solve these problems. Fair property assessments, lifting all exemptions, and the circuit-breaker approach to payment will. This is the comprehensive approach that takes fortitude to create and legislate.

Me and my fellow town board members are responsible to our taxpaying residents and grapple with budgetary issues at the most local level. I understand the state's fiscal problems, but it is unconscionable for the state to refuse to continue to pay its fair share of taxes on lands it owns throughout the state. The governor says we must all share the burden during this crisis, but this action unduly burdens those taxpayers whose towns encompass state lands.

If this were to happen local people will have to move and these parks will be mostly second home owners - I would hate to see this happen! Please consider middle and lower income locals!
