Why don’t these citizens simply do a constitutional referendum to prohibit a state income tax?
New York just voted against a state constitutional convention.
Liberals voted against it to protect Union interests.
Conservatives voted against it because Albany is so corrupt, everyone figured Cuomo & his minions would screw it up worse than it already is.
When I moved here, there was no state income tax. Then a GOP governor had the "bright" ( as in blindingly STUPID ! ) idea to have one, and LIED to the populace, as Mnuchen and everyone else pushing this vomitacious tax INCREASE Bill, by saying that a lowered sales tax would more than make up for it!
People like YOU, fell for it, mouthed it as you and your ilk do here, re the lies being told, and so now we have BOTH sales ( the rate was NOT lowered all that much and never "made up for the state income tax! )and state income tax! Lower or get rid of these taxes, by doing a constitutional referendum? WHAT UNIVERSE DO YOU LIVE IN?
