If that were so, every major Democrat-run city in the country would have a municipal income tax by now.
You say that New York City has one, but you're not sure. I've never heard of a municipal income tax anywhere. Anyone else ever hear of this?
I Googled City of New York income tax, many articles came up. Here are the tax brackets and rates:
NYC Income Tax Brackets
Single Filers

My son lives in Brooklyn and yes, NYC has its own income tax on top of what NY state charges.
