Two state lawmakers want to find out why people are leaving New York faster than almost any other state in the country.
The latest census numbers show New York's population dropped by 77,000 between 2018 and last year.
According to the Empire Center for Public Policy, 1.4 million people have left New York since 2010. The report shows the majority of people who left moved to Florida, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania.
Republican Sen. Jim Tedisco and Democratic Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, who chairs the Commission on Rural Resources, say they will put a questionnaire online and hold roundtable meetings across the state to get to the bottom of this trend before the Empire State becomes the "Empty State."

I mean, really? I can tell them in under 30 seconds.
Seems to be a methodological issue there....
Because the Democrats want it this way. Illegals in, earners out.
Imagine the money lost to their economy because Democrats banned fracking.
Taxes.
Ironically, even AOC’s mother recently moved from NY to Florida because of the taxes.
when a state decriminalizes felons, and turns around and makes felons out of law abiding citizens, and attacks people’s rights to self defense against the criminals walking the street because of an idiotic no bail law, and when people have to pay through the nose for such nonsense— it’s not too hard to figure out why people are leaving-
If they have to ask, then they are beyond comprehension.
For a second there I thought The Babylon Bee had purchased a TV station.
HOW CAN NEW YORK STATE PRODUCE SUCH STUPID PEOPLE AND THEN VOTE THEM INTO POLITICAL OFFICE? THERE MUST BE A STRAIN OF CORONAVIRUS OF THE BRAIN THAT THE CDC DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT AND IT IS RAMPANT IN NEW YORK STATE.
I guess they really are that stupid, or leftarded.
Give me a few minutes to think of a reason. This may be difficult..........

Which proves how stupid they really are.

“Who are they? Right to life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay — if that’s who they are, they have no place in the state of New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.” - Gov. Andrew Cuomo January 2014
Unfunded mandates = high taxes, crippling school taxes, horrendous property taxes, high state taxes
Ever talk to an NYS pol?
They know damm good and well why people are leaving.
They just refuse to do anything about the reasons why.
Education, Medicaid, public pensions.
All out of control. And Albany unwilling to do anything about it.
