Higher sales tax in St. Lawrence County is nearing as Governor Cuomo hinted at support for the biggest tax hike in county history....if the locals beg for it. The County Legislature already is, but for maximum political cover, the state legislators from the county must as well.
To do that, the three Senators will have to hear a chorus of "we want higher taxes" from all the electeds. They will do that if their municipality is getting a little piece of the larger pie.
That's why some of the increase is being spread around to the towns, villages and the City of Ogdensburg, which as signatory to the distribution deal would gain about 33% in its revenue from sales tax.

I am shocked to hear that chimp say he will sign a tax increase! Why doesn't he call it a tax decrease like last time he raised taxes?
No way this buffoon will be president. He be too ugly to look at and too painful to hear him talk.
They already have a warm committment from Griffo its Ritchie whos doing the damage right now. She will be slapped into her place soon and the tax will pass.
As citizens in this County we must all remind the legislators that next year we expect our property taxes to go down we must remind them to tighten their budgets some more we must remind them to put part of this money back into a fund balance.. As taxpayers in the city we must remind our councilors to do the same. They would claim they made no such committment but the reason the majority of the people up here want this increase is exactly those things I just mentioned.
Think of all the new cameras they can buy to mount on the power poles! Think of all the road blocks the Sheriff can afford with the new sales tax. Think of the murder trials! I wonder if Oxley is in favor of raising the taxes.
Since everything costs about 5 times as much as it did when poppa Cuomo was running things, I wonder if baby Cuomo could explain why we would need to raise our sales tax percentage?
9:28, Ah-nold had an excuse why he spoke the way he did: He wasn't born in this Country. What's our Governor's excuse?
I would assume Cuomo's diminished speech capacity is the result of brain damage caused from unbridled growth of a malignant librul-lobe-tumor and its logic-lobe strangling parasitic tentacles.
8:47 very very fine post.
