Silver says Assembly will propose property tax "circuit breaker" instead of rebate...

The leader of the Democrat-led state Assembly says their budget proposal will include a property tax ``circuit breaker'' instead of the rebate program sought by Governor Andrew Cuomo.  Speaker Sheldon Silver made the comment to reporters today as the Assembly and the state Senate prepared separate budget resolutions staking out their positions on the fiscal plan due April 1st.  Leaders of the two houses are negotiating with Cuomo on a final plan this month.  Cuomo's budget plan to freeze property taxes through rebates to homeowners in jurisdictions that meet spending and shared services goals is unpopular with many state lawmakers and the local officials they represent.
