It's long past time to slam the prison doors on Sheldon Silver https://nypost.com/2020/01/21/its-long-past-time-to-slam-the-prison-doors-on-sheldon-silver/ It's truly amazing that the law only applies to little people.

https://www.syracuse.com/news/2019/09/syracuses-unfair-property-tax-system-hurts-poor-the-most-heres-what-can-be-done-exclusive.html   In this article it says that people with lower value homes are paying much more property tax than people with higher value homes.  This is exactly what's happening in New York City also, where Park Slope is paying much less with higher-value homes.

If you or your friends own, property tax is definitely going up at a 6% to 8% rate. Spending in New York City is going up at a 5.5 % rate. All while inflation is near 0.
