Hochul’s plea to runaway New Yorkers: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Gov. Hochul begging New Yorkers who fled to return as a result of “our tax base has been eroded.”
Gov. Hochul is really delusional if she is asking people who left the state to come back to New York to pay for socialist handouts and bailouts (“Former NYers, we mi$$ you: Kat,” March 19).
This is identical delusional imbecile who instructed Republicans to “get the hell out of New York, you are not welcome here!” Now she needs them back — or ought to I say, their tax revenues.

Hochul instructed hardworking taxpayers to hit the highway for daring to complain about how the state and metropolis are run. Now that she wants money to waste on silly tasks, she’s citing patriotism in an attempt to get the escapees to return and fork over their money.
DOGE wants to take a have a look at New York’s books earlier than residents are taxed anymore. And New Yorkers should stop voting for Democrats.

In 2022, Hochul instructed New York Republicans they need to “jump on a bus and head down to Florida” as a result of they don’t signify New York values. I’d argue many who fled truly felt their values of onerous work and preserving the majority of their hard-earned money was not a worth revered by New York politicians.
Hochul ought to have thought-about the affect of her phrases, as those that left, together with me, usually are not returning.

Hochul needs New Yorkers to come back so she will be able to faucet them out for taxes, which she is going to flip over to the antisemitic communist mayor.
Does she actually assume Palm Beach Jews are enthusiastic about complying together with her request? Giving tax collections from rich Jews to an antisemite is the definition of “chutzpah.” I can’t look ahead to Bruce Blakeman to unseat her.

New York has grow to be a cesspool of leftist dirtbags. Case in level, Mamdani and Hochul.
Their actions remind me of the billions wasted on Somali immigrants in Minnesota by that buffoon governor.
I’m not sure who’s voting for this scourge, however I do know those that fled New York aren’t heading back anytime quickly.

What occurred, Kat? Did you lastly understand it wasn’t a good thought to thrust back high earners?
Now with Mamdani’s proposed property tax, who would even contemplate dying right here? Not to point out all his different tax concepts.
You made your mattress by endorsing Mamdani — now lie in it.

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani ending the crackdown on e-bike drivers due to considerations it targets migrants.
As an 86-year-old who’s almost been hit twice by e-bikes on a sidewalk, I resent Mayor Mamdani’s directive to stop the crackdown on e-bike riders (“Speed racers gonna skate,” March 19).
He mentioned they need to be “treated like others on the road.” But drivers of different automobiles like automobiles and bikes are licensed, registered and insured.
“Priscilla’s Law,” a invoice stalled within the City Council, might partly treatment that scenario by requiring licensing and registration for e-bikes.
How many more pedestrians should die earlier than the City Council acts responsibly?

The sidewalks and streets in New York City aren’t walkable with these maniacs using in each direction.
But enforcement goes down the tubes as a result of, similar to smoking weed, leaping the turnstile, urinating within the streets and all kinds of different criminality, too many people of shade are getting bagged, even when they’re the bulk offenders.
