Justin Brannan Thinks Brad Lander Paying Even Less Property Tax This Year is Equity
Councilman Brannan likes to make graphics to pat himself on the back, but they don’t accurately portray what’s going on in NYC.
The old Brannan would have laughed at a politician throwing breadcrumbs at a community that has been overcharged in taxes for years.
Brad Lander already had low taxes. The rebate makes his property taxes under $4000 for the year.
Why would NYC give a property tax discount to people living in Brad Lander’s district when the NYC Property Tax Commission has already ruled that they are paying too little tax? That doesn’t make sense.
Senator Luis Sepulveda wrote Senate Bill S9399. (Seen here)
Assembly member Stacey Pheffer Amato carried the bill in the Assembly. (Seen here)
Is Brannan saying he worked on Sepulveda and Amato’s bill?
Strangely Tori Burnhas, the Chief of Staff of Senator Gounardes said at a Community Board 10 Meeting that Gounardes worked on the bill. We don’t believe that is true because we have seen the tax rebates for the rest of NYS. (Seen here)
If Andrew Gounardes worked on the bill, why would NYC home owners receive so much less than the rest of New York State?
In districts where taxes are a lot higher in NYC, why didn’t the politicians do something to help?
We have been paying higher taxes for too long because these two friends aren’t representing the community well, but acting like they have.
