NEW CITY – Following the Rockland County Legislature’s approval of the county’s 2024 budget, County Executive Ed Day is expected to sign it.
The $870 million spending plan includes a two percent tax cut, maintains programs and has no layoffs.
“The 2024 budget comes after a decade of hard work that saw the elimination of a deficit, the implementation of new budgeting processes, and the reduction or elimination of county taxes whenever possible, including the motor vehicle tax, the residential energy sales tax, no county property tax increases for 2023 and 2022, and now for 2024, a two percent county property tax reduction,” Rockland County Budget & Finance Committee Chairman Legislator Aron Wieder said. “We have truly come a long way.”
Day has five working days after receipt of the amended adopted version to issue any vetoes. He has line-item veto power. The legislature has until December 20 to override any vetoes with a two-thirds vote per veto item to override a veto.
