New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced the completion of the Rockland County budget review.

Rockland County – Budget Review

The significant revenue and expenditure projections in the proposed budget are reasonable, except for the possible revenue shortfall related to the expiration of the county mortgage recording tax law. At the end of the 2014 fiscal year, the county’s outstanding deficit will be approximately $41 million. The 2015 proposed budget has appropriately included an appropriation of $10 million to be applied against the outstanding deficit.
