The sponsor's argument

Why Shelley Mayer says this is needed

The additional one percent sales tax authorization and extension of the Westchester County spending limitation was most recently provided for through 2025 by chapter 272 of the laws of 2023. This bill provides an additional two year extension. Since its inception, the sales tax has been a vitally important source of revenue to the county, its local governments, and school districts. Providing for the extension of this provision during this legislative session will enable the County of Westchester, and the various local governments, and school districts that rely on the revenues generated from the sales and compensating use tax to more appropriately plan their budgets for the coming fiscal years.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
