First this commie blames Trump, now he’s blaming the state of FL.

Look in the mirror dummy.....it’s your HIGH STATE TAXES that are forcing people out of NY. That, and other commie laws/legislation/regulations.

By my observation, this would cause FL to lose easily 25% of their LEOs who are there on the double-dip plan of a NY retirement @ 20 years, new job in FL LE to work up another retirement

Very good and true observation.

I used to manage a family business in Florida. Trust me. Florida isn’t “stealing” anybody. We couldn’t stand the snow birds from NY or Kanada. Whining. Demanding. Cheap.

New York Governor: Florida Is Stealing Our Population

And they're bringing their Loony Leftist, Democrat-voting habits with them.

You can take them all back, Governor Cuomo.

Good for you, you wised up early, there are undoubtedly tons of stories similar to yours. I know of a half dozen people who have moved from NY or who live part time in NY who have had to provide excruciating documentation that they didn’t have a physical presence in the state. Rush talks about this frequently.

Actually New York is driving them out of the state and into Florida due to politics and taxation.

“Better weather, lower taxes. Doesn’t seem like a fair fight.”

Throw in MUCH less restrictive gun laws, shall issue and it’s a deal.

As a native Southerner and 50 year resident of the great state of Florida I would like to

#1 encourage him to take ‘em all back to ny if at all possible.

#2 Unfortunatly most of ‘em bring their failed liberal democratic mindset here with ‘em so it shouldn’t be a whole lot longer until Florida is in the same boat as ny.

It’s also warmer in FL. Maybe he needs to support global warming.

To retain population, NY might also might want to stop killing their babies.

NY should embrace globull warming to help keep their elderly taxpayers.

As a 40 year resident of FL, all I can see is the fleeing New Yorkers turning FL into the same kind of s-hole as NYC. A pox on them all, thank you. Am I being too harsh?

N.Y. And Florida population about 20,000,000 folks each.
N.Y. State budget $176 billion.
Florida State budget $89 billion.
Hey Andy, can you really be that stoopid?
Hey Yankees, come on down the weather is fine.
And here in Florida we do not spend money on liberal CRAP.
And NO imcome tax.
How yya like that there Andy.

It’s probably not going to do any good, but somebody should really ask Governor Cuomo if it’s really fair to “blame Florida” for the exodus of New Yorkers.

Sure it is, in his world. They are their brothers' keepers, and are running out on their obligations. :)

You watch, the solution will be to put some sort of tax on people moving which will be offset by a credit which can only be claimed if you are still an NY resident. In other words, if you move to another place in NY state, you pay nothing. If you move to a place outside NY state, they take a gigantic slice of your wealth.

You watch, this will happen. The blue states are about to put up their own walls to keep people in.

“I know it’s unconstitutional to create a state from within a state..”

Maine and West Virginia were carved out of MA and VA respectively.

Cuomo should build a big wall around NY state to keep its citizens from leaving. People like Cuomo have always approved of walls that keep people from leaving.

I’ve been ready to move out of NY for quite a few years. Family has kept me here. When I do move it won’t be to Florida. Probably someplace warm but DRY. It’s a shame for you folks. I’m a rock ribbed conservative so you’re missing out on a good thing. . But you are right about the rats here deserting a sinking ship and fouling wherever they go.
