From doubling down on a Chief Judge nominee NYers oppose to vetoing legislation NYers support to today proposing a budget that fails to tax the ultra-rich is clearly not working for NYers. NYS legislators must do the job & deliver a budget that will #InvestInOurNY

While ’s budget fully funds the admin needs of the , it substantially under funds the request for matching dollars. We call on , , & Governor to allocate $114.5M to NY’s best answer to terrible Citizens United. bit.ly/3WU79SX

New York’s current corporate tax rate of 7.25% is already low by regional standards:
- NJ rate: 11.5%
- Pennsylvania rate: 8.99%
- Massachusetts rate: 8%
If New York lets its corporate tax rate expire, the rate will return to its record low of 6.5%.

New Yorker sarcasm, “I don’t need to sign a letter telling New York State politicians to tax the rich, they’ll do that on their own.” Said with a wink as he picked up the pen and signed.
New Yorkers know, our elected leaders work for us so let’s tell them to #InvestInOurNY

Overheard in Union Square today, “Trickle down economics? Yeah, it trickled down piss.”
We didn’t say it but we do think taxing the wealthiest New Yorkers and NY corporations to #InvestInOurNY is better economic policy for all of us.

We just had the best conversation with a woman who said, “I pay more taxes than the millionaires in New York who made their money off the backs of New York workers like me! Why shouldn’t they pay their share!”
That’s are hard agree!

We didn’t do the work to defeat the IDC, get a majority, then 2 supermajorities for the NYS Senate to ignore the people & rubber stamp the Governor’s choices—quite the opposite. Especially NY judiciary choices given SCOTUS right now. Thank🙏🏻you for this statement. twitter.com/ZachReports/st

Raising taxes can’t be off the table because there are New Yorkers who have no home to put a table in and no table to put food on. Yesterday I joined colleagues to call on our legislature and Governor to #InvestInOurNY. It’s time to #TaxTheRich and serve the people.

Billionaire wealth has skyrocketed in NY and the number of wealthy has increased
