From Cuomo 2010 - “Andrew Cuomo and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano today joined together to rally support to pass a statewide property tax cap. As part of his New NY Agenda, Cuomo has proposed a property tax cap that would limit increases in property taxes, both for local government and schools, to two percent annually or the rate of inflation whichever is lower. Mangano today announced his support for Cuomo’s plan. To build public support for his property tax cap, Cuomo today launched www.capNYpropertytaxes.com, an on-line resource for New Yorkers to learn about Cuomo’s plan and to directly contact their state representatives to urge them to support the cap.

Republican Rick Lazio has proposed a 2½ percent cap and Buffalo-area developer Carl Paladino, wants state and local tax cuts but hasn’t specifically advocated a property-tax cap.
