He’s your Assemblyman,
Dave McDonough

Dave McDonough knows property taxes are too high and overtaxed homeowners need relief.

That’s why he’s led the fight for real property tax relief for homeowners in Nassau county.

In fact, Dave McDonough secured $1.3 billion in property tax rebate checks for New York homeowners as part of this year’s budget, and $4 billion in property tax rebate checks over the next 2 years.

Assemblyman McDonough also sponsored this year’s Taxpayer Protection Act. The Act would lower property taxes by:

  • Limiting the growth of school district tax levies to 4 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less,

  • Requiring any state mandate imposed on school districts to be funded by the legislature,

  • Providing counties with $7.5 million to conduct in-depth Medicaid fraud investigations to recoup fraudulent Medicaid claims, and

  • Creating a State Inspector General for Education to investigate financial abuses in schools.
