He’s planning to pay for these proposals with various tax hikes, including a large jump in the city’s corporate tax rate from 7.5 percent to 11.5 percent. He claims this will bring in $5 billion, and says New York City’s economy can “afford to support a stronger public sector.”””””

“government-run grocery stores”

produce in NYC is cheap and readily available

A better idea is to restrict SNAP to cheap & healthy foods & milk and pay benefits daily or weekly.
