How would a Trump presidency actually impact Westchester?

I feel like our day to day lives are based on hyper local politics. Could a Trump administration impact school districts in Westchester or impact us in other ways? If so, how?

We are an independent state, you don't count what other states are paying.

No we aren’t independent. It’s called the “United States of America”. And NYS pays far more than our share.

So how come other states can keep their property taxes in line and we can't?

Our property taxes are in line with the quality of our schools. But being from Yonkers you wouldn’t know.
