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

Guilderland Adopts $50.7M Budget as McKownville Fire Levy Jumps 87 Percent

Guilderland’s town board has adopted a $50.7 million budget for next year, a spending plan that climbs about 6.3 percent over this year’s budget and pushes property taxes higher across most of the town. The increase comes as employee benefits, particularly health insurance and retirement contributions, eat up a growing share of town spending, while one small fire district faces an eye-popping levy jump tied to a new firehouse project.

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

‘Vet-ville’: Make unused Saint Rose housing into homes for needy veterans

The Enterprise reports on Albany County, even as Albany struggles to attract taxpaying residents, and as New York state loses taxpayers and electoral votes to other states. Much of the former College of Saint Rose sits empty. Albany has a Veterans Affairs hospital a short distance from Saint Rose. Veterans might find it convenient to move to Albany, to be near the VA hospital, if suitably priced and disability-friendly housing were close to the VA hospital.
