Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate

Outgoing GOP Rep. Mike Lawler leaves door open for NY governor run after stinging re-election defeat

Outgoing Republican Rep. Mike Lawler is leaving the door open to a potential run for New York governor — but says he’s done with Congress — following his stinging re-election defeat last week . Speaking to The Post in some of his first public comments since his midterms loss, the two-term Hudson Valley rep said he had no plans to vie for Congress again — but didn’t rule out running for governor or another statewide office in 2030. “If running for office in a different capacity presents itself, great. If not, fine,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday. Republican Rep. Mike Lawler speaks to supporters at a hotel in Pearl River, N.Y., Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Getty Images Cait Conley celebrates on stage during her election night watch party at Club Infinity in Pleasantville, N.Y., Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect Lawler said there was nothing he would have done differently to prevent the loss to Democrat Cait Conley, who surfed the nationwide blue wave in the Nov. 3 elections .

Texas, Florida top ALEC ranking of state veterans’ policies

(The Center Square) – Texas topped Florida in a new ranking of state policies supporting veterans and military families. The Lone Star state got 66 out of 100 points in the American Legislative Exchange Council's new report , released Tuesday, a day before Veterans Day. Florida got 65 points. Arizona (60 points), Colorado (59 points), and Oklahoma (52 points) rounded out the top five. New York ranked last with 15 points. Vermont, Michigan, South Dakota and Hawaii were also in the bottom five. ALEC’s first “Serving Those Who Serve” report scores 10 policy areas worth 10 points each. Military family policies counted for 40 points. Those categories cover school moves and school support programs, homeschooling and child care. States can earn 20 points for recognizing military training in civilian job licensing and building public-private partnerships. Court and criminal diversion policies account for another 20 points. The remaining 20 points cover regulated access to psilocybin-assisted therapy and research funding for ibogaine-assisted therapy. ALEC bases most scores on state laws.

Its review uses several of its own model policies. “Our veterans and military

Voters without a party now outnumber Republicans on Blakeman’s Nassau County home turf

There are now more registered voters without a party than there are Republicans in Nassau County, the home turf of failed gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, according to newly released data. Non-affiliated voters now outnumber Republicans 314,000-307,000, according to active enrollment data that was released in early November just before GOP pick Blakeman was shellacked in his bid to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who carried Nassau. The numbers reflect longstanding statewide numbers, as voters without a party have already outnumbered registered Republicans for several years. Non-affiliated voters don’t include members of minor political parties including the Conservative and Working Families parties. Voters cast their ballots during the midterm elections at P.S. 152 in the Inwood section of Manhattan, New York, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Luiz C. Ribeiro for NY Post California just voted to give two billionaires $4 billion in taxpayer money so they can do obscure research Nassau’s neighbor on Long Island, Suffolk County, is home to about 345,000 independents and 341,000 Republicans, according to the data.

New York’s stagnant, aging population is killing job growth: report

New York’s stagnant and aging population is killing business expansion — with residents age 65 and older now making up nearly 20% of the state, according to a sobering report from Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office. The “Labor Markets” section of Hochul’s mid-year budget plan revealed that there are not enough younger residents to replace Baby Boomers leaving the workforce, thanks to “constraints in population growth. “New York’s labor market faces many of the same constraints as the nation, where cautious business expansion and limited labor force growth restrain hiring,” the study found. “Individuals age 65 and older now make up 19.3 percent of the State’s population, up from 15.0 percent a decade ago. New York faces a stalled labor market and aging population, with residents aged 65 and older now comprising 19.3% of the state. mimagephotos – stock.adobe.com “The growth of the State’s labor supply will be limited due to constraints in population growth and the aging workforce. “These trends will likely restrict employment growth , but unemployment rates should remain stable,” the report said. “[The state Division of the Budget] projects New York’s unemployment rate to average 4.4 percent in each year from 2026 through 2028, slightly above the

Hochul budget chief swats down tax hike push from Mamdani’s DSA allies

The Empire State will enjoy an $8 billion revenue surplus heading into next year — even as the far-left keeps up its demands for tax hikes on wealthy residents. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s budget director Blake Washington downplayed the calls for new taxes Tuesday, as he revealed the substantial surplus in tax revenues flowing into state coffers. “It’s hard to talk about new taxes when revenues are performing the way they are,” Washington said on the Capital Pressroom radio show. New York State Budget Director Blake Washington speaks as Gov. Kathy Hochul presents her executive budget in Albany, N.Y. on Jan. 21, 2025. Hans Pennink for NY Post Hochul, following her resounding re-election to a second term last week, is already under pressure from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America allies to “tax the rich.” State lawmakers are likely to push Hochul for higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for priority programs such as universal childcare — as she faces larger super majorities of fellow Democrats in both the state Senate and Assembly come January. Senate Majority Andrea Stewart-Cousins told Politico that taxing the rich will be a priority next year, saying, “We’ve always looked at the ability of

NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted
