County Democrats Pass Largest Tax Cut in 20 Years

Democrats on the Schenectady County Legislature led by Chairwoman Susan E. Savage passed a 2.13% tax cut, the third cut in the last five years and the largest cut in at least 20 years. This makes the Schenectady County full value tax rate the lowest since 1956. This budget was made possible by the Democratic Majority's effort over the last 6 years to cut spending and create a leaner more efficient government.
