Info on two proposed NY constitutional amendments that will appear on the November 7 ballot. ![]()
The first involves increasing the debt limit for small school district bonds from 5% of the school district's real property value, to 10%., which is the current limit for large school districts. The bill can be found here: legiscan.com/NY/text/S08803/2021![]()
![]()
The second involves another 10 year reauthorization of an debt limit exemption for the construction of municipal sewer facilities. This is a recurring amendment, past reauthorizations have been approved by the NY voters for six decades. ![]()
![]()
I hope our school districts inform us on the potential impact of raising the bond debt limit, for example the proposed capital projects and future effects on school taxes. Otherwise it's difficult for me to justify a YES vote. ![]()
![]()
The second proposed amendment seems to be a noncontroversial YES. But it's odd - why not just make the law permanent instead of asking voters to reauthorize it every 10 years?![]()
![]()
Both amendments were required to pass in two successive legislative sessions, and both passed almost unanimously. Our local representatives voted YES.
