New York Association Of Counties Releases Mandate Relief Suggestions

The New York State Association of Counties has released its latest recommendations to reduce mandated costs on local governments.
The bipartisan association report includes suggestions for relieving local governments of increased Medicaid, education, welfare, pensions and other costs.
In total, there are 40 state-mandated programs - many of which are accompanied by "dozens or even hundreds of pages of regulations and rules" - using local tax dollars.
