Cuomo threatens New Yorkers with tax hikes over COVID-19 shortfalls

Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened Thursday to increase the burden on New York’s already heavily taxed residents if federal lawmakers don’t provide funding to offset losses due to the coronavirus crisis.

“This will be a hole in the financial plan so large that it will be impossible to fill,” the governor said during a conference call with reporters.

“What would we do to try to fill it? Taxes, cuts, borrowing, early retirements [of government workers]. All of the above.”

The budget had issues long before the virus came out of China.

these idiots never consider spending cuts
guess he wants even more rich people to leave. I'm not rich but I pay more than my share of taxes. Might need to discuss permanent work from home with my employer and move out of state. We have offices in many other states so I could move close to one for those times when vpn was acting up
