NYS Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos backs a proposed cap on local property taxes, but urged that a cap plan would be incomplete without efforts to also reduce current levies through mandate relief and increased state support for schools. He also strongly supported efforts to control spending at the state level. Democrats who control the Assembly -- and want to gain control of the Senate -- have said that a property tax cap proposed by the Governor is "dead on arrival." Skelos appeared on Capital Tonight 6/17/2008, his first extended TV interview since being elected the state's top Republican last month.
