Kathy Hochul Was in Shore Road Park Tonight
Governor Kathy Hochul was in Shore Road Park in Bay Ridge tonight.
When she took office, I was so excited because I thought she was going to be different, but I quickly learned politics is just pictures – no real changes to policy.
Imagine Governor Hochul came to Bay Ridge to help people! She didn’t – she came to get on stage with the band.
Kathy Hochul has been in government for many years and has watched as Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Marine Park and other areas have been overtaxed.
When Hochul took office, she should have frozen property tax increases for all areas that were overtaxed, until she could get a grip on the system and make the taxes fair throughout the state. It’s not rocket science, but it takes someone who cares about equity.
Even the NYS tax rebates were drastically different between NYC and other areas of NYS. (See here) State representatives, like Andrew Gounardes should have fought for fair property taxes.
