Tax Shifting is bad for New York!
Tax shifting is the practice of one government shifting its taxes, costs and/or deficits onto a lower level of government. Stopping New York State’s penchant for tax shifting is the first step in taking control of what many New Yorkers would say is our number one problem: the oppressive and regressive real property tax.
The New York Conference of Mayors has designed a single–issue Web site, www.StopTheTaxShift.org, to help state and local officials, the media and the public better understand the direct connection between state and local actions- e.g., state aid and state mandates- and New York’s real property tax burden.
Local official and private citizens are also able to use the Web site to deliver this message directly to state leaders, legislators and opinion-makers. NYCOM urges all cities and villages to put a link to on your municipal Web sites and help spread the word so that New York’s taxpayers can get the relief they need and deserve.
