A New York Republican leader has strongly criticized Governor Kathy Hochul's potential plan to increase taxes on businesses. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman called the proposal a "disaster" for the state's economy.
Blakeman issued the warning in response to discussions of a corporate tax hike. He argued that such a move would harm New York's economic competitiveness.
The criticism highlights early political opposition to the governor's fiscal policy. The potential tax increase is now likely to face significant debate in the state legislature.
