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."

1.4 million people have left New York since 2010. I wonder how many were on welfare.

Really? Ya gotta be kidding. These azz-clowns can’t find their azzes because their heads are stuck up em too far.
Hint: Taxes, taxes, and more taxes. Anti-2nd Amendment, anti-American, pro-crime, pro-abortion, pro-communist....and the list just rolls on and on.

"Can these people really be that stupid?"You are presenting them with a challenge. Besides, it's not THEIR money they are paying a fact finding committee.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with crime rates going back up or the insane level of taxation... /s
