99 NEWS FOR TUESDAY, 12/20/11 POTSDAM TRUSTEES SET HEARING DATE ON PROPOSED TAX CAP OVER-RIDE OPTION--The board voted unanimously to set a hearing January 3rd at 6:30pm on a proposed local law that would allow the board to go over the cap next fiscal year, if it feels it needs to. Mayor Steve Yurgartis says the formula the state sets is "....so complicated, I wouldn't even give it to my senior engineering students..." Administrator David Fenton says the claimed "2 percent cap" is a misnomer, saying there are allowances for certain expenses, putting the cap realistically in the range of 3-to-4 percent. He also says penalties if the Village calculates the cap wrong, could cost the Village hundreds of thousands of dollars in subsequent years. ALSO ONLINE TODAY....
