Politics as usual in Albany.

They keep pushing the responsibility down on the locals but not cutting any of the mandates like medicaid which is drowning us all.

Is there any way to come up with or pass legislation that would make essential emergency services costs exempt from the tax cap?

No. Albany made it clear that part of the states problem is too many local FD's, PD's (along with school & other districts) and part of the purpose of the cap is to force depts to consolidate.

They will not touch exemptions for us.
