Suozzi on Property Taxes

The half truths and insinuations keep on coming from the guy at 1550 Franklin Avenue. Now, Mr. Suozzi says that after misleading the legislature and the people on the red light robocams that ticket people for making legal rights on red, that the real issue is property taxes. Don't believe me? Check out Newsday.

I agree. The issue is property taxes. The issue is the county's condition. And Suozzi has failed on all counts. He's too busy running for something, anything to get him out of Rome before the the town burns down.

Property taxes are through the roof. And High Tax Tom does nothing to stop it. He's raised them by almost 80%. He invented a new home energy tax. He told Levinson, the former assessor, to jack up the values of homes as a backdoor tax so that he wouldn't have to take the political hit for raising taxes even more.

Tell Tom to stop the grandstanding and run on his results. I think if you compare Tom's results -- eight years of taxes, bankruptcy and proliferate spending -- to Ed Mangano's record of creating jobs and genuine common sense government -- you'll find Tom and his scare tactics lacking.
