The Empire and Garden states ranked second worst and dead last, respectively, for the second year in a row in the Tax Foundation’s annual business-tax climate rating.

The businesses are only interested in the FREE money that they can get from representatives like Tonko and that means nobody is looking out for the taxpayer.

New Jersey is lowering its property taxes 10%. In pathetic New York we have too many "representatives" like Taxin Tonko who "understand the importance of high taxes". Stop looking for new revenue sources and cut something.
