Pols push for $400 tax rebate for homeowners
A bipartisan group of City Council members is moving to score property owners a $400 tax rebate, citing more than $1 billion in surplus money coming down the pipeline.
“Quite frankly, there needs to be a middle class agenda that reaches the needs of the working class and, really, whatever is left of the middle class in this city,” said Coney Island Councilmember Mark Treyger who, alongside Councilmembers James Vacca, Steve Matteo, Joseph Borelli and Eric Ulrich, penned a letter to City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Councilmember Julissa Ferraras, who heads the budget committee, asking for relief for single to six-family homeowners.
According to Treyger, a tax break of this kind is the least the city could do.
