With the November elections approaching, Troy’s electoral candidates have declared tax-exempt organizations to be a significant issue for this year’s campaign.

According to a recent article in the Troy Record, much of the tax discussion focuses on RPI.

Michael Petruska, a mayoral candidate, proposes charging current tax-exempt corporations a curb fee to help pay for road maintenance and street lighting. Mark Pattison, another candidate, favors a trash fee over the curb fee.

A proposal is already in the city budget to impose the curb fee, but the proposal has not been finalized yet and the fee’s impact on Rensselaer cannot be determined until details of the proposal have been sought, according to Ken Gertz, Institute director of government relations.
