Property Tax Freeze

It's about time that the social democrats begin to move back towards the middle from their 'off-the-cliff' leftist Keynesian economics. Cuomo's proposals are more like old-school JFK democrat economics as opposed to the tax grabbing, unending revenue schemes that have been increasing for decades. This party and, to an extent, the other party have abandoned governance by and for the people, and have been unrelenting in their move towards statism. Once a tax..always a tax...We can only hope that these moves, by Cuomo, will pull democrats back from economics for the government to economics for the people..but.. don't hold your breath. If you think the duplication of local government and services will result in politicians of both parties giving up their power and revenue grabbing to consolidate local Westchester government and implement  tax relief, you will turn blue from lack of oxygen. This is probably just a temporary feel good moment, which politicians always use to con the populace or can it become a real movement? Let's hope Cuomo has courage.
