What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

Governor Kathy Hochul increased the state budget since taking office, raising it from $216 billion to $277 billion, which is a 28% increase. Separately, the Department of Finance published a property list identifying individuals targeted by a new pied-à-terre tax. This tax, which Hochul pitched, targets luxury second homes and has faced legal challenges alleging it unlawfully discriminates against nonresidents and applies retroactively.
