Spa Wants County Tax Levy Lifted
Saratoga Springs Common Council says a new five percent county tax on pari mutuel betting at the Saratoga race track is harmful to the city and county. It asks the County Board of Supervisors to reconsider and cap any new tax at two percent. The council action follows Mayor Mallery and Public Safety Commissioner Leonard opposing the levy, which could fund county relief and erase the tax roll or pay county debt in a single season.
