ALBANY - When Gov. Andrew Cuomo ran for governor in 2010, he vowed to let a income tax surcharge on the rich expire in 2011.
But facing budget gaps, the Democratic governor reached a deal with the Republican-led Senate to keep the surcharge, but at a lower rate than had been on the books along with a small middle-class tax cut and a cut in a corporate income tax rate.
Flash forward a decade: Cuomo now faces another call for raising taxes on the wealthy as the state faces a $13 billion deficit due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the largest since he first took office.
