Anthony Pledges Tax Cut for the Middle Class

Posted Wednesday April 13, 2005 @ 08:03 PM (over 3 years ago)
Promising to bring a new commitment to the middle class and poor people of New York City, yesterday Anthony unveiled a plan to lower taxes for every New Yorker making less than $150,000 a year. 


Anthony's middle class tax cut proposal is part of a package of reforms designed to end wasteful city spending, make Albany pay its fair share in taxes to New York City, and ensure that when the City sells property, it’s taxpayers who get the best deal.

“The Mayor says he doesn’t think New Yorkers are overtaxed, but working families in New York City know that’s just not true,” says Anthony. 

“My promise to middle class New Yorkers is that I will not raise your taxes -- in fact, I’ll cut them.  We will have a more progressive, fairer tax code in this City.”
