State Lawmakers Propose Withholding Federal Taxes
Following President Donald Trump's decision to cut federal funds to New York, Assembly Member Micah Lasher and state Sen. Jessica Ramos are calling for the state government to withhold federal taxes from state employees' paychecks.
New York has faced significant federal funding cuts, including:
- $18 billion in infrastructure funding for the Hudson tunnel and Second Avenue subway
- $34 million in counterterrorism dollars for the MTA
- $500 million in clean energy grants
- $80 million in FEMA funding quietly taken from the city's bank account in February
President Donald Trump has canceled millions of dollars in federal funding to New York
Authors suggest retaliation against federal funding cuts.
