all the state retirees with their vast pensions do not pay state taxes on it...maybe that would be a good place to start governor..

If government employees getting a NYS pension suddenly got taxes on the pensions, they would move to Florida or Tennessee to avoid the tax. That would just spread the liberal tax and spend mentality even more.

Better to have them stay in NYS and stew in the wonderful world they have helped create.

I'm just wondering how long it will take for all of these budget-poor governments can survive. When the meltdown happens, it will be Biblical.

Really? Only if they don’t live in New York State.
