What went wrong with Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax rollout?
from Off Topic/On Politics · host Spectrum News NY1
This week, New York City sent letters to 17,000 homeowners who may have to pay a non-primary residence tax, or pied-à-terre tax, starting next year. The tax played a role in closing the city's budget deficit earlier this year and helped Mayor Zohran Mamdani deliver on his campaign promise of taxing the rich. But some city homeowners are blasting this week's notification rollout, calling it "sloppy." NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Bernadette Hogan break down the backlash. After that, the race for governor is on with less than 100 days until Election Day. The "Off Topic" team checks in on where things stand between candidates Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and what voters can expect as they prepare to head to the polls.
