Kyle Adams is reporting in The Daily Mail a report released Tues., Dec. 10, by the New York State Tax Commission recommends $2 billion in tax relief over the next two years, largely through property tax measures and relief for businesses.

The proposals include a two-year freeze on property taxes, with eligible homeowners receiving a tax rebate from the state equal to the amount of increase in their tax bill.
