NY State Taxes
In 1977 the governor, Hugh Carey,
gave Buffalo, NY money because of the
"blizzard of 1977" calling the area
economically depressed.
Eliot Spitzer (remember him) in 2006 called
upstate NY Appalachia.
"If some folks don't like the metaphor, so be it," Spitzer said. "The yawning gap in population loss, a continuing spiral of decline. These are realities."
So in 30 some years things have not changed.
"Welcome to Niagara County. We're Number 1. We pay the highest property taxes in the country."

But no one can figure out that high taxes means people and business don't want to be here.
So guess what? They are going to raise taxes again.
Unbelievable!
Upstate NY has to be the armpit of the country!
