New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli speaks during a news conference in Albany, N.Y., on Monday, Jan. 9, 2012.

DiNapoli says the review of 798 municipalities found that 43 inappropriately exceeded the cap without the required override vote, and 10 made subsequent corrections that saved taxpayers from being improperly billed more than $280,000.
