"The Democratic-dominated New York State Assembly on Monday night released a budget proposal including several policies championed by the left-wing big Apple mayor including corporate tax increases and an income tax increase for wealthy New Yorkers. Mamdani has called for increasing both New York's corporate tax rate and placing a 2% tax on New York City's highest earners to pay for his various proposed expensive social programs."
"Hochul in her January State of the State address in January said, '[W]e can make transformative investments in our future without raising taxes, without saddling the next generation with mountains of debt.' 'I will cut income taxes instead. That's how I'm going to keep people here,' the governor said in March 2025."
New York's Democratic-controlled State Assembly released a budget proposal Monday night featuring tax policies advocated by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, including corporate tax increases and a 2% income tax on the city's highest earners. These taxes would fund Mamdani's proposed social programs such as free public buses, city-run grocery stores, and subsidized childcare. The proposal conflicts with Governor Kathy Hochul's January State of the State address commitment to make investments without raising taxes and her March 2025 statement pledging income tax cuts. The final budget requires Hochul's approval before the April 1 deadline. New York already ranks among the nation's highest-taxed states.
