New York State voters support 63 – 32 percent New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio’s proposal to increase city income taxes of households making more than $500,000 and using the money for his pre-K plan to fund public schools in the city, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Voters in every region support the idea, 68 – 30 percent in New York City, 55 – 42 percent in the suburbs and 64 – 29 percent upstate, with the exception of Republican voters who oppose the plan by 58 percent.
“New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio’s campaign issue, raising taxes on the well- to-do in the city to pay for improvements in education, wins solid approval in every corner of the state, except among Republicans. And Republican State Senators still have a lot to say about what happens in Albany,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Higher taxes are very good for upstate and Connecticut. Remember that the richer you are, the easier it is to relocate your business to a place with lower taxes, and the rise of the internet makes it easier than ever to relocate.
