Mamdani works deal with governor to tax the rich


It didn't actually happen.

Thanks Derek.

Another standard 'get off Twitter' moment for the Tug.
Yes it did. This from Gemini AI:

As of today, April 15, 2026, there has been a major breakthrough on this issue. Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, have reportedly reached an agreement on a new tax targeting high-value second homes in the city.

This marks a significant shift, as Governor Hochul had previously resisted several of Mayor Mamdani’s proposals to tax the wealthy.

It's a proposal.

This type of tax proposal is one that the voters will like. Honestly, I think WA should do the same for out of country investors who buy properties here (aka, Chinese and Indian tech money). There are a lot of properties on the Eastside that are owned by non-US citizens who don't actually use the properties.
