NOW THAT’S OVER… 2/26
…and the governor is freed from the ordeal of amassing a fortune to run for re-election…I hope we can expect swift work on looking the obscene property tax in the eye and…. shooting it down.
Governor Paterson has always been cordial, smart, and even very funny in all our encounters on the subject of property taxes. We always held him in high esteem when we attended functions on the crisis perpetuated by this tax.
He has publicly supported the concept of the circuit breaker…a break through.
Now-freed from the constraints of appealing to BOTH contributors and voters-often an impossible task - Gov. Paterson should be able to make his mark by freeing the middle class from this crippling burden…an historic act by any measure.
The Governor was raised in a tough “neighborhood”- Albany politics- it takes its toll on everyone who is surrounded by the bubble.
We wish the best for him…and-most importantly – from him.
