Trump: Astorino can’t win from highest-tax Westchester- Trump is always amusing.
Joseph Spector
Donald Trump continued today to say he’d be the best candidate to challenge Gov. Andrew Cuomo, saying Rob Astorino wouldn’t be able to attack Cuomo on property taxes because Westchester County has the highest property taxes in the nation.
The Tax Foundation lists Westchester, because of its high property values and high taxes, as number one in the country: $9,945 in median property taxes in 2010.
“My whole thing would be: We have the highest taxes in the country in New York, but he has the highest taxes in New York,” Trump said on WBEN in Buffalo. “So it’s not exactly a good sound bite that he can use.”
Astorino has touted that he hasn’t raised taxes since he took office in 2010 and has been elected twice. But radio show host, Michael Caputo, who is helping to lead the Draft Trump for governor effort, chimed in that Astorino hasn’t cut taxes either
