The Post questions Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s dedication to the property tax cap fight.
Cuomo's push back of Bloomberg of LIFO has repaired the governors relationship with the UFT now he has to deal with the 2% tax cap. Speaker Silver is putting in his own bill more friendly to the UFT than the senate bill.

So far, his "push" for a 2 percent-a-year cap has gone nowhere, courtesy of the teachers unions and the power they wield over lawmakers.(NYP) * Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos says Cuomo should “compel” the Assembly Democrats to pass his tax cap bill.* Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver plans to pass his own cap bill.
