Veteran members of the state Assembly are calling for increasing taxes on upper income earners in New York.
The push for increasing taxes could receive new energy as Congress has reached a deal for a COVID-19 stimulus agreeement that did not include unrestricted aid to state and local governments reeling from the loss of revenue during the pandemic. New York State can avoid cuts to lifesaving and life stabilizing services by asking the ultrawealthy to pay their fair share. New York s hard-working families, low-income New Yorkers, and communities of color have already been hard hit by COVID-19, and they simply should not have to bear the burden of balancing the budget on their backs, said Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal.
