Are the City's Property Taxes Racially Biased?

Judge Jonathan Lippman, former chief judge of New York and counsel to Tax Equity Now NY, and Martha Stark, former lecturer at Baruch College Marxe School of Public and International Affairs (and soon to be professor at NYU - Wagner), former (Bloomberg era) commissioner of the New York City Department of Finance and policy director at Tax Equity Now NY, talk about the class-action lawsuit filed by Tax Equity Now NY, a coalition of justice leaders. The suit claims that the city's property tax system discriminates against homeowners in predominantly minority neighborhoods, by over-assessing properties and charging higher tax rates than homeowners in white neighborhoods pay.
