What Politicians Leave Out of News Articles is More Important Than What They Write
Justin Brannan and Joe Borelli wrote another article about property taxes for the newspaper.
Does it really take two men to write an article with no new information for the newspaper? They have a history of writing nonsense about property taxes for the newspaper, but not doing anything about the property taxes.
I’m not linking to it because it isn’t worth your time. What was left out of the article is a lot more important!
If one of the politicians became a home owner since the last article, why wouldn’t they mention it?
Because he doesn’t want you to know that he is fighting for a property tax for himself this time.
Not one person in his office, group of friends, etc. has congratulated him because THEY don’t want us to know. They KNOW how horrible he has been on property taxes and helped delay the process using a “property tax commission” that purposely failed to give a tax rate the first time. (Brannan thanked the Property Tax Commission for the incomplete report.)
Congratulations on the new home bro!
Too bad things only matter when it affects you.
A few weeks ago, someone said I only write about what’s on someone’s social media. Silly Goose, this #breaking info can only be found here. : )
If you aren’t sure if I am telling the truth…..try it here.
To the rest of Bay Ridge, now Andrew Gounardes will have to do his job this year.
For three years, Gounardes did nothing on property taxes except tell us he was waiting on Mayor de Blasio. In 2020, Gounardes went on the NYS senate floor and supported everyone in NYS getting a property tax break but NYC. (No I am not kidding – see the video here)
Brannan and Borelli’s article failed to tell people what their new property tax will be. (DUH)
What will change in your property taxes?
The proposed tax rate is 0.814% is on the real market value. The current law does not use the market value. Find NYC’s market value for your home here (it’s on the left for 2021-2022 after you put in your address). Then multiple 0.00814 by the market value and that will be your new annual property tax bill (before exemptions for seniors and people with certain incomes). There is also a homestead exemption for owner occupied properties.
