ISSUE:
- mandate relief
The New York State Association of Counties has identified the move to relieve Steuben and other counties locally and statewide of this unfunded state mandate as one of its top priorities. It would save counties and local property taxpayers statewide nearly $155 million a year. In Steuben County alone, it would save taxpayers $1 million a year when fully effective.
Senator O'Mara offers his weekly perspective on many of the key challenges and issues facing the Legislature, as well as on legislative actions, local initiatives, state programs and policies, and more. Stop back every Monday for Senator O'Mara's latest column "From the Capitol"...
