    Why say there is a cap on tax increases yet you can go over the cap?

    More Local Governments May Override Tax Cap in Year Two


    ALBANY - About 25 percent of New York's local governments have indicated that they may override the property-tax cap in 2013 - up from 19 percent at this same time last year, state data shows.

    Municipal officials said the overrides are the result of a squeeze on their budgets. Some counties, towns and villages are overriding the cap as a precaution to ensure they are not penalized if they accidentally exceed their tax limit.

    Obama is president because Bill Clinton said no-one could fix all Bush's mistakes in 4 years. That person would need longer.

    And the sheep followed.
    I never said I had no idea about most of the things you said I said I had no idea about.
