Loading ...Hi Rich, I’m in NY you know, and most of those so-called private sector jobs around here with “New York Rising” program, are all really gov’t vendor jobs. Roads, bridges, rail roads subway, defense plants etc. They don’t count as private sector jobs if they are paid by the tax payers. What a load of crap.
And lets not forget these idiotic IDAs, Industrial Development Agencies. They bribe developers (that don’t need a break) with big tax breaks. Also bribe local companies that threaten to move (bluff) to another state. In Valley Stream, they gave the Green Acres Shopping mall such big discounts all the neighbors got huge property tax increases and raised hell.
There is talk of rescinding the breaks now, and mall owners are threating to sue the town now. Now they have new requirements like informing everybody what’s going on ahead of time.
