President Gallitano commented on the referendum sponsored by the State regarding Property Tax Cap Regulations and the Local Control Referendum sponsored by the Village, which were voted upon at the November 8, 1994 Election. The Village sponsored referendum asked the question who would you rather have control the local provision of services such as fire, police and ambulance, the village or state government? It was predictable that the Property Tax Cap legislation referendum would pass or suggest strongly in favor of property tax caps; but when it came to the question as to who should control local services it was 90% in favor of the locality or municipality. This was a mixed message that people do want some kind of property tax relief or tax reform but they are not willing to have the state run their local services .
