State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli Releases State Fiscal Stress List
Thomas DiNapoli has released the Fiscal Stress list for the state. The Fiscal Stress Monitoring System was developed in 2013, and evaluates different conditions in order to calculate a municipality's fiscal stress. The system is used by the Comptroller to monitor the fiscal stress of different municipalities across NYS.
Fiscal Stress Designations are as follows:
Fiscal Score 45 to 54.9 = Susceptible to Fiscal Stress
Fiscal Score 55 to 64.9 = Moderate Stress
Fiscal Score 65 or Higher = Significant Stress
Listed worst is the Town of German Flatts, with a score of 81.7. Best, is the Village of Sylvan Beach, with a score of 0.0. A full list is available at NYS Fiscal Stress List, where you can check the level of any municipality in the state
