Sorry Al but the assessment problem is neither Suozzi or Mangano's fault. The problem started in the fact that before properties were reassessed they were all based on 1931 home/land values. Now the problem is that if you do not challenge your assessment and your neighbor does get a reduction yours goes up to pay for his reduction, so it makes property taxes a shell game.

As to raising taxes I wish you would remember how your Buddy Tom Gullota gave away the store to the unions to get the vote, and had no plan how of how to pay for it.

As I have sad before the only way we can lower our taxes is to reduce the salaries and pensions of the Police/Teachers, but no politician would ever propose that since it would be suicide for their career.

Probably the only way to get taxes in line and fair is to get rid of the tax based on a assessed house value, but only tax the land and make the rest of the tax an income tax.
