Continuing that news item:
County leaders on Monday released a tentative $296.8 million budget for 2015 that would lower total spending by 5.2 percent from this year if the county sells its Maplewood Manor Nursing Home in Ballston Spa by Jan. 1, as it expects. The plan would reduce the county’s tax rate by an anticipated .009 percent, keeping it at $2.28 per $1,000, one of the lowest in the state.
And Schenectady is MORE THAN DOUBLE Saratoga tax rate. Property values in Schenectady are falling. Property values in Saratoga are increasing.
