15h agoSeveral Hudson Valley schools voted to pierce the state tax cap in budget votes on Tuesday.
Rye, Harrison, and Scarsdale, Chappaqua are among districts where voters were asked to pay more than what the state tax cap allows.

That means around 71% of voters supported the budget, which allows them to go above the tax cap.
People in Harrison and Scarsdale also voted to approved their budget Tuesday night.
Both districts recieved around 67% of yes votes.
This percentage also allows their schools systems to go about the tax cap, too.
Chappaqua Central School district's budget was defeated Tuesday night with a vote of 1,128-2,006.
