Because the need to raise state taxes was the least offensive aspect of the bill.
1) As I understand it the more money a school district is currently wasting, the more state aid it would get -- foreover. This would screw NYC and other more efficient districts.
2) As I understand it, the bill provides relief from property taxes, not local income taxes, screwing NYC.
3) As I understand it the relief is only for homeowners. Renters pay state taxes to fund it, and have property taxes as high as before pushing up their rents. This screws the place with the most renters. NYC.
4) Businesses would also get an additional burden and no relief. That's fine for Upstate, where they don't want private sector jobs just more government jobs, but not for us because we are expected to pay our way.
Again, if I were you I'd send a postcard about this to everyone in NYC represented by a Republican State Senator, unless they too voted no.
I'd consider it a joke if Florida didn't just pass something similar. Can't the state wait a few minutes for the young and businesses to flee back here before doing something unfair and stupid.
