The ARCC is very appreciative of the 38 Senators that voted today to support Governor David Paterson's bill to cap New York State property taxes. This bipartisan effort to control spending on behalf of all New York taxpayers is a major step forward to reversing the outmigration of jobs and talent from our state. As a leader of the New York Property Tax Cap Coalition, our efforts now shift to the Assembly where we realize an uphill battle stands before us. The fact that Senate Democrats - - including Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith and Deputy Senate Minority Leader Jeff Klein - - gives us hope that more and more Assembly Democrats with pressure from their constituents will join with these leaders from their own party to pass this measure. Special thanks to Senate Majority Leader Skelos and Senator Little for their leadership in the Senate to pass this legislation once labeled "dead on arrival" by those who oppose it.
