I didn't know New York City levied a city income tax...Do they?
My State doesn't even levy a tax on income. It was mentioned in Tallahassee once(and critters started crawling out of the swamps) and we never heard another word about it again.
They weren't staying in NYC before the attacks; they were in Florida. In January, our local GOP hosted a luncheon and the issue of state vs. federal responsibility as it relates to illegals was discussed at length. The reigning concensus seemed to be the feds weren't doing much to deal with this problem, and the states literally can't afford to deal with it on their own. For instance, the thousands of dollars to incarcerate, prosecute or return each illegal captured were head-exploding. It would literally bankrupt small towns and small cities to fully go after these people.
They do, from 3% to about 3.7%. Which they actively pursue on income earned in the city by nonresidents. That's why I wondered about the enforcement of city laws as pertains to employers of illegals.
