    As Cuomo lauds Amazon deal, where's tax relief for the rest of NY? (Editorial)

    Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledged that New York's high taxes were the reason such a large incentive package was necessary -- even for a trillion-dollar company, led by the world's richest man.

    What's the plan, then, to lower taxes and improve the business climate for everyone else?

    On the same day Cuomo and New York Mayor Bill De Blasio announced their Amazon "win," Upstate's economy took two more body blows. The New Era baseball cap factory in the Buffalo suburb of Derby announced it would lay off more than 200 workers and move most of its manufacturing out of the country - a move that took state, county and local officials by complete surprise. Also, Thomson Reuters said it would close its office in Rochester, eliminating as many as 500 jobs.

    While struggling to defend his mega give away to Amazon - #Cuomo brags about NYS taxes = "The revenue is from state and city taxes, including income taxes [in New York State and New York City: one of the highest rates in the country] with the second highest millionaire's tax in the country (only California is higher)"

    Yes - those are his words !
    #Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !

    Giving tax breaks and incentives to a company that has put countless small businesses out of business. Yes there are people who sell through Amazon but that isn't the point. My opinion is it's time to replace Cuomo including the people/group that support his nonsense.
