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.

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
