NYSAR needs your help to fight a possible statewide increase to the mortgage recording tax

Your action is needed NOW! NYSAR recently launched a member wide Call for Action in opposition to a statewide increase to the mortgage recording tax. New York State currently faces a $9.5 billion budget deficit. Several weeks ago, Senator Martin Dilan proposed an increase to the statewide Mortgage Recording Tax to partly close this deficit. REALTORS across New York must make their voices heard and oppose any increase to the statewide Mortgage Recording Tax. New York's budget deficit is not the result of too few taxes. Rather, New York State government simply spends too much! Please take action and tell Gov. David Paterson andyour state legislatorsthat increasing the mortgage recording tax is not the way to solve New York's fiscal crisis. If you haven't done so already, please act now by clicking here.
