Raises local taxes. Make sales taxes, like, 15% or something. Raise cigarette taxes from $9 a pack to $15 a pack. Raise liquor tax from $3 a gallon to $9 a gallon. Raise taxicab fares, and add a 25% uber surcharge to all rides in the city. Double subway and train fares. Raise the hotel occupancy tax from 18% to 44%. Oh, and tack on a 25% surcharge on Broadway shows (only 20% for off-Broadway, and 15% for off-off Broadway). And make the minimum wage $30 an hour so people can afford to pay these taxes. Is a sarcasm tag needed?

DeBlasio has already said he's not opening up till at least August. The only tax he is going to make any real money from, is liquor stores, which he kept open of course.
But hey, he can always raise taxes on liquor by 1000%. :). Boys in the hood won't like that. May take matters into their own hands.

Sounds like you have a plan that Willie the fake Frenchie will try to get passed by the NYC government.
