I am sure that there are a lot of people like my husband and myself who own real estate and pay taxes in New York State, but are not allowed to vote there, in State and local elections.
That is a classic "taxation without representation" problem upon the American Revolution and this country's statehood was based - and we believe it should stop.
I am seeking other out of state property owners within New York State to unite and challenge, in court, this little "taxation without representation" problem - and especially on 1st Amendment grounds, because New York has on the books and mandates local schools, who tax us through our noses, to cram into children as young as 5 the "LGBTQwhatever" agenda.
Check out the so-called NYS Education Law Section 801-a.
I do not want to challenge constitutionality of NYS EdL 801-a itself - it is for parents with children at school to do that.
What I do want to challenge though is the ability of New York State, and of schools, to exact taxes from me to support this ideology if it contradicts my deeply held beliefs.
And since January 1, 2025, my beliefs are protected by the brand spanking new section of the New York State Constitution - Article 1 Section 11.
So, let's unite, and let's act. Many states have already given out of state property owners voting rights. New York should join the quoir!
