TAX SCHEME PLACES RESIDENTS AT RISK, A MUST-READ LETTER

“When our state and local officials encourage residents to break the law to make a political statement, that is not acceptable.”

The following letter was published in this week’s issue of the Gazette.

To the Editor:

Political activism is an American tradition as old as the founding of our nation. But there is a big difference between personal activism and a municipal corporation engaging in activism which places its residents at risk.

When our Village trustees pass activist resolutions and send letters of protest to Albany or Washington, such action is harmless, albeit ineffectual. When we participate in a “Hey hey, ho ho, [insert cause] has got to go” march, we are getting some exercise and our neighbors are no worse off.

But when our state and local officials encourage residents to break the law to make a political statement, that is not acceptable.

  2. The IRS wants its pound of flesh. This idea will never fly unless we change the tax laws to help the Liberal states with extremely high taxes. The Federal tax law is uniform for all. Blame the NYS & local (Croton) Liberals for the problems related to the new Federal tax cap. They are the ones who raised taxes above the national average. Now it's up yo them to lower the taxes to match other states.
