The main focus should be on New York County,Westchester County and Nassau County.

“The Great Escape, starring Kathy Hochul: The governor is driving productive New Yorkers out of New York”

A dumbed down population is much easier to control.

Driving out the productive is a long standing New York tradition. This is just he latest installment.

Two generations ago, all those expensive "loft" apartments in what is now called Tribeca were small scale manufacturing not residential.

Hochul to me at least has a German sound to it. :)

If we provide busses at the border, we could fix this.

“New York State counted 21,193 enslaved people in the 1790 population as well as 4,600 free Black people. The number of enslaved people diminishes in succeeding decades due to State legislation “gradually” emancipating people...”

“By 1830 there were 75 remaining enslaved people in New York State and by 1840, there were four.”

“People are getting sick...”

and taxed out of their homes.

A federal Constitutional property tax cap would get a lot of support in the Northeastern US.

The smarmy self aggrandizing Twixxes that Princess Kathy deftly dumps on the sorry Citizens of GnuYak are nauseating.

NY State has become 1975 East Germany.

One-party state, controlled from elsewhere. High taxes, marxist ideology. Has one industry - government (OK, and wall street) that supports life in the Capital. Everyone else is getting poorer. Lots of snow. People wanting freedom flee West and South

Another side to this is that high NY taxes are discouraging major sports stars to sign with NY teams.

Are these all just money jugglers, or are there actually some productive people left in New York?

“Retired NYPD Lt. “

Part of the reason NYS sucks is the scandalous Public Employee Pensions.
If you got one, good on you-
If you don’t, and you are a taxpayer, paying for all of this thievery, you are pissed.

Guess how much they get?
Would you believe many are about $10K . . . a MONTH!

Politicians promise the big future payouts for the current votes and never look back. They’ll be long gone when that bill comes due.

The only reparations due are to slave owners whose rightfully and legally owned property was taken by the federal government and no compensation was given to them for their seized property.

Hochul update from an Upstate enemedia outlet.

Two very interesting links. The first...

Hochul vetoes progressive noncompete agreement ban after intense lobbying

The second is interesting in particular because of the misleading headline...

New York enacts LLC transparency law to fight fraud

Sounds good, right? Except for the part they buried down in the story...

...However, Governor Hochul’s amended version excludes a provision that would have made LLC ownership data publicly available...

The enemedia outlet has an interesting definition of transparency.
