Cortland and Cayuga Counties both rank in the top 16 nationally
for property taxes as a percentage of home value.
Local property tax levies grew by 73% from 1998 – 2008 – more than double the rate of inflation.
On average, New York public schools spend about $18,000 per student, or 71% higher than the national average, yet we rank 40th in high school graduation rate.
New York’s combined tax burden is the second highest in the nation – 79% above average.
Between 2000 – 2009, New York public schools added almost 12,000 classroom teachers while enrollment declined by about 156,000 students.
Too much is being spent and you’re getting too little in return.
We need to stand up and tell state leaders we’re not going to take it anymore.
