“Our Taxes and Mandate Reform” Forum on 5/31/12
May 25, 2012 by The Catskill Chronicle
LIBERTY, NY (May 25, 2012) – Sullivan County Legislators Cindy Kurpil Gieger, Cora Edwards and Kitty Vetter are teaming up in a bipartisan effort to reach the public with an important message on Taxes and Mandate Reform.
“With the present state of our economy and our residents struggling as never before with the ever increasing tax burden, it is important that public officials join together to educate the public. The harsh reality is that more than 93% of Sullivan County’s property tax levy is consumed to pay the bills for nine mandated services that our state fails to fund. This has created an unfair burden on our county taxpayers.
“On Thursday May 31 at 6:30 p.m. the public is invited to the Liberty Lapolt Senior Center on Liberty’s Main Street to come and learn what they can do to help fight these state mandates. Learn how you can become involved to help ease the tax burden in our own municipalities.”
Cindy Gieger, District 5 Legislator says “ Public participation is essential as we work together to find solutions to ease the burden on our taxpayers.”
The forum is free and light refreshments will be provided.
For information call Legislator Gieger at 845-701-0708.
