Local taxes rise as state shifts costs to towns and counties
A Pew Charitable Trusts report shows New York state shifts 15 percent of its costs to local governments, far above the national average. The piece argues a permanent tax cap won’t solve the high local property taxes, urging the state to address funding shifts to counties and towns. It lists local officials including Michael Lane and James Dennis of Tompkins County and others.

The writer argues the program is unfunded mandate and funded by federal and state dollars, questions local officials actions, and notes subsequent resolutions to protect against unfunded mandates. The writer claims to have voted no on the funding resolution and predicts forthcoming reasons.
