New York State's new property tax cap impacts school budgets

New York State's new property tax cap impacts school budgets

Suburban voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide on school budgets. For the first time, the state’s new property tax cap came into play. The two percent tax cap pushed by Governor Cuomo and passed by the legislature has forced some districts to make serious budget cuts. That includes teacher and staff layoffs.

But the permissible cap is different for each school district according to a complex formula. From 1.7% in Greece to 4.2% in Brighton, although Brighton was asking less than that. The countywide cap average of what districts are actually asking voters to approve is 2.2%.

Tax levy is all the money a school district can raise in property taxes and that’s what the subject to the cap. Only three suburban school districts are asking for an increase that’s at the cap. All the rest are lower.

Webster school officials say turnout here was good, although that's been the trend the last few years and may not have had anything to do with the new tax cap.

Ride of Silence to roll through Penfield on Wednesday

On Wednesday, approximately 100 cyclists will take part in the Ride of Silence as part of National Bike Safety Month.

Now in its eighth year, the event aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and government officials that cyclists have a legal right to public roadways.

Cyclists will take to the roads in a slow, silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways.

The Monroe County ride is 10 miles long, and starts at the Penfield town Highway Department lot, will consist of cyclists from the Greater Rochester area.

Andrew R Stewart, Rochester Bicycling Club member at large, will lead the riders along a predetermined route through the township of Penfield, starting and finishing at the Highway Department parking lot on Jackson Road, across from Veteran's Memorial Park. A motorcycle escort, by Karwowski Escort Service, will provide safe escort for the participants.

President Obama has officially nominated Monroe County Court Judge Frank Geraci for a spot on the federal bench.

Geraci has been a county court judge for more than 13 years. He served a city court judge before that. Geraci is a McQuaid graduate, and once worked as an assistant district attorney.

President Obama calls Geraci highly qualified, and a valuable addition to the U.S. District Court in Western New York.
