NY Sucks!!!

ScottieM · 12-17-2008, 08:37 AM

It looks like Our Gov David Patterson is going to choke NYers to death with new Taxes and fees. I don't know why any young person right out of college would want to live here. Here's a pic that was in Todays NY Post. It's just a small sample on what he plans to increase Tax's and Fees on. Plus he wants to Defer 5 pay days over 5 pay periods for all State Workers which includes myself.

That sucks..however NY is notorious for voting in a party who looks at paying higher taxes as being patriotic.

Note to self do not move to NY or Michigan.

He wasn't voted in. Our former governor was involved in a call-gall scandal.

Easy..Easy..no sense in throwing insults.

I live in NY. Though the snow in the mountains can be pretty, and the tall buildings on the east side are grand....it's a shithole, a joke, and nearly impossible to do business in unless you're a part of the machine. Hell, our next senator (replacing long-time NYer Hill) is going to be a Kennedy...simply because her last name is Kennedy. Talk about WTF?!?

But at least we've got the BILLS!

This is the part that is really killing me. I am on an extremely tight budget financially, and this sure doesn't help. Not to mention the witholding of the upcoming years raise. And on top of that. My position was supposed to become a traineeshop for another position, which i would have been able to move right into with work credit, and that would have bumped me 5 pay grades, oh well! Can't complain, it won't make a difference. Just gotta see if the union is able to convince him to take other measures, which they will be addressing with Pqatterson in the upcoming week

Also, according to the Daily News, he is also proposing a $0.50 tax on cigars, up from .10 or .16 apiece!!

don't worry too much about the raise, nothing is certain but I have it from highly placed sources that the Unions have already told him to go piss in his hat, they will not re-open the contract negotiations.

Those raises are part of your contract, he has no ability to not pay them.
