Today's papers say Bloomberg might have put in that obnoxious rate (same as residents) to try and get back the more reasonable old rate. Nassau co. might not fight if State does other givebacks, but Westchester & NJ oppose completely. Pataki ran on a platform against restoring it, but he has been awfully quiet.
By the way, today's paper seemed to be saying that the proposed rate, which would be same for residents and non-residents, is actually a reduction for residents (to compensate for property tax increase). That would make a double FU. It is bad enough to have to contribute just for the "privilege" of working there, but to pay the same rate as residents even though you get no services is outrageous.
And for all you anti-democrats out there, just remember he is a republican...... :crackhead:
