Statement From Speaker Silver
On Suozzi Commission Report

I am currently reviewing the Commission on Property Tax Relief report released this afternoon.

The report raises many important and complicated issues.

The Assembly Majority shares the concern of the many New Yorkers who are struggling to pay rising property taxes. We have long called for meaningful tax relief, including the use of a "circuit breaker", which is endorsed in the report.

Any action that we take must guarantee that schoolchildren across the state will have the resources necessary to get a quality education.
