That state advisory commission on property tax relief led by Nassau Executive Tom Suozzi may be interested in capping the levy -- but such a proposal would encounter heavy resistance from those representing New York state teachers, according to yesterday's Times item here.
Read the comment from NYSUT. How any interest group, from labor or business, can presume to suggest a pre-emptive veto of any proposal is worthy of discussion.
Turns out on checking this that Basil Paterson, who represents New York City teachers in their contract talks, quit the panel last month, once his son David Paterson became governor, to stem any appearance of conflict.
