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.
