New York Gov. Kathy Hochul delivers her State of the State address at the Hart Theater. Hans Pennink
It’s January, and New York City homeowners know what that means: Time to warily watch the mailbox to see just how far our property-tax bills will rise this year.
On Tuesday, Gov. Hochul dashed our hopes — yet again — that Albany will step up to make our out-of-whack taxes fairer.
Another State of the State speech has come and gone, and once again property tax reform was left off the proverbial to-do list.
Since 2018, the Property Tax Reform Commission that we helped create has fought for specific ways the state Legislature can make our system fairer, simpler and more transparent — to no avail.
There’s nothing like basic, obvious, in-your-face unfairness to bring two people like us, the City Council’s Democrat Finance Chair and its Republican Minority Leader, together.
