Statement in Response to Reports of Business Tax Hikes to Fund the MTA

“More taxes on private-sector businesses cannot be the solution to addressing the MTA’s ongoing budget issues. The businesses that have chosen to stay have to balance their own budgets while facing routine rate, fee, and tax hikes from a state government that regularly increases spending year after year. New York’s high tax, spend big approach has gone on for too long leading to unaffordability for residents, consumers, and businesses. This is why people are leaving, and no one in Albany seems to want to address the issue.”
