New York state auditors are looking to stick wealthy residents fleeing the state’s high taxes with a hefty bill to make up for a $2.3 billion budget deficit.
New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, one of President Trump’s most vocal critics, blamed the Trump administration and a GOP lawmaker- backed tax reform plan reducing state and local income tax deductions for New Yorkers fleeing the state.

“This is the flip side. Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich,” Cuomo announced in February. “We did. Now, God forbid, the rich leave.”

I really doubt that the Governor knows what he is saying.

They're going to quickly learn the concept of a vicious circle. The more they squeeze, the more people will run.

Tracing back to the original article, they are going after people who say they moved but still have a home in NY to determine where their primary residence actually is.

Didn't they do this to Rush Limbaugh when he moved out of NYC?

As a total amateur, I would advise anyone looking to leave New York but still do some business there... get a location in a neighboring state and commute. The thing about New York City is that New Jersey and Connecticut are right across the river.

I wouldn’t suggest either state; they’re both high tax nutcases.
