County Executive Edwin G. Michaelian called President Nixon s revenue sharing message a major step toward real property tax relief. He said the plan should deliver no strings attached funds to local government and could bring Westchester County up to 3 million per 1 billion of federal tax sharing. He also noted potential savings if welfare costs shift to the federal level and the timeline for federal action remains uncertain.
