Expect Albany’s leaders to throw away its $8B Wall Street revenue windfall
Albany just got a windfall of $8 billion — get ready to watch the state’s leaders throw it away. Wall Street bonuses are soaring for a third straight year, not only producing an $8 billion surplus this year, but also slashing the coming year’s deficit by $6.4 billion to $2.9 billion, a gap the current overage can obviously cover. As state Budget Director Blake Washington noted Tuesday, “It’s hard to talk about new taxes when revenues are performing the way they are,” indicating that Gov. Kathy Hochul won’t be proposing tax hikes, but only “presenting a new favorable financial plan.” This explains Hochul ‘s comment to reporters at the Somos junket in Puerto Rico, namely that she’s open to new taxes “if there’s a need.” Where California Propositions stand as votes are tallied: Prop 40 wealth tax, home loan funds and more Of course, that doesn’t rule out a political need. She’s facing intense pressure from Mayor Zohran Mamdani to hike taxes, because for the socialists, the huge amount of taxes the rich already pay is never enough: They must be punished until they flee New York, taking this massive windfall with them. California voters overwhelmingly reject union-backed Prop. 44

Albany Common Council mulls rule changes after city issues $10 million loan
The Albany Common Council is considering changes that would require the city treasurer to notify them — or seek council approval — before issuing short-term loans.
