Fiscal Trouble Ahead for
Our Communities and Schools
From the office of State Comptroller Thomas Dinapoli
Local governments are under extreme fiscal pressure. Costs for fighting the pandemic are adding up while revenues are falling. My latest report looked at local governments and schools and how they pay for essential services and operations.
This week we examined New York’s 2020 Census response rate, and found that New York lags behind most other states in responding. We’re in real danger of being undercounted. The stakes are high and New York could lose funding for our local communities for education, housing and more. Our representation in Congress may also suffer. Check out our online tool that lets you track how your county and community are doing. Please take a few minutes and fill out your form today.
In more news for local governments, my office also announced the property tax cap for local governments with fiscal years closing Dec. 31 will be capped at 1.56 percent for 2021.

As of Thursday May 15, 2020:
- Jefferson County has a response rate of 39.9%
- Town of Lyme has a response rate of 17.3%
The Census determines how much of your tax money will return to your community for funding libraries, first responders,
school meals, senior housing, Medicaid, bridges, roads and food pantries.
Responding to the Census is Easy!
There are only 9 questions for “Person 1” and only 7 questions about anyone else who lives in the same place.
There are 4 ways to respond to the Census –
- Online – your personal information will be encrypted immediately when you submit your answers online. Multiple aids, including American Sign Language, Large Print and 57 language guides are available.
- Phone – you can speak to a live person who has taken an oath to protect your personal information. Speakers of 12 different languages are also available over the phone.
- Paper – Some areas of the country will get the paper survey earlier than others. Homes that do not get regular mail delivery, or do not have 911 addresses, will have a paper survey hand delivered.
- In Person – Census workers will follow up at addresses where no response has been made.
The best thing you can do for your community is respond to the Census.
On-Line, by Phone or by mail.
