    that aren’t set by the mayors office, but the state

    edit: so many confidently incorrect people responding to me, bug off. bunch of argue bros trying to google their way to being right. Albany and the governor are involved in what he wants to do, the governor has already addressed this, he has already addressed this, idk what to tell you loons. blocking any more reply guys.

      The existing one is set by the state, but I’m not aware of anything precluding the city for introducing its own. They wouldn’t be set by the mayor’s office as mayors don’t actually make laws, but I don’t see how this is a state matter. Certainly none of the coverage about it has said it’s ultimately up to Hochul.

        idk what to tell you except that this is very easy to verify. NYC city taxes are set by the state and the governor has to approve them as currently set up. Hochul the democratic governor has already said she isn’t interested in this plan so it’s a fight. I’m not interested in discussing it with you any further have a nice day.

          Yes, but you’re talking about the current taxes. Is there a law saying they can’t institute additional taxes themselves? Because the proposed tax is an entirely separate thing and unless that’s precluded by law the existing tax doesn’t really matter. Adams had to go through the state because he wanted to reduce the existing tax.
