the entire northeast has no real solution to high tax, a ton of liability, you can make tax even more progressive, but then your tax revenue would be volatile
I guess that NYC could maybe get a handle on its often insane public salaries...
From Forbes......
New York City (114,045) – Only in New York can school janitors out-earn the principals. We found 40 “custodial engineers” who earned between $154,000 and $256,000, while 57 principals made less than $154,000.
In 2019, the city spent its entire income tax collection (and more) on its six-figure salaried workforce ($14.5 billion). Costs included $1.8 billion on overtime – which allowed 36 plumbers to make between $200,000 and $285,000.
