Yesterday, two Albany-area officials here at Somos told me they think @KathyHochul only took issue with a controversial commuter tax on non-residents who work in the capital city before the Nov. 3 election. They suggested maybe they could convince her to put it back on the table to help Albany with its whopping $55.5 million deficit over the next 16 months.
But earlier, @MayorApplyrs, who vetoed the Common Council resolution Oct. 30, made it clear today the commuter tax proposal will not be revived.
“The veto is going to hold,” she said. “There were council members who supported the notion, but this is an initiative that would require support from he city and the state, and it’s very clear that the support wasn’t there from the state.”
After 4+ decades in the NYS Legislature, Jim Tedisco has conceded, thanking his constituents in a statement in part: “It’s been a blessing and the honor of my lifetime to be a representative and a public servant.”
Race has not been officially called yet, with 230 of 256 precincts reporting:
Rogerson (D) 64,922
Tedisco (R) 59,518
