this is why everyone is leaving. the tax hikes are making it unlivable. pretty soon ny will have nothing left. then what will the vampire politicians sink their teeth into? (and love how they make decisions without consulting the public aka the ones footing the bill!)

govt on level is a scam. say anything to get elected and as soon as they are in, they do not care about the impact of their decisions on their constituents.

They really don’t want people to live here, do they? what do you think people are gonna continue to get the fucking money to pay this shit? You shouldn’t have to pay property taxes if you own your own home. You’ve already paid for the fucking property and the house. This is fucking robbery, people. You guys are gonna start running fucking people out of this state. Quit building these fucking $5 million fucking parkways, walkways, and start putting it back into the infrastructure and fucking affordable housing
