She told them to leave. She apparently didn't realize they took their tax dollars with them. Months after telling Republicans to 'head down to Florida where you belong,' New York Governor Hochul says the state has to figure out how to stop people from leaving - TheBlaze
In her New Year's Day inaugural speech following her 2022 election, New York Governor Kathy Hochul took aim at one of the biggest problems plaguing her state: people fleeing New York to escape the consequences of Democratic policies.
In August she told Republicans - including her opponent in the election - that they should go to Florida because they are "not New Yorkers."
Many people over the last months and years have taken exactly this advice, fleeing New York's oppressive, anti-business climate and crime rates for the greener pastures of Florida and other states. According to the Census Bureau, New York had the highest population decline of any state in the union in 2022, while Florida had the highest rate of population growth.
Now people leaving the state is a problem. Especially when the people leaving are higher-earners and thus paying more in taxes. Only not paying more to New York.
Good Luck getting the Progressives in New York to reverse course. Things will have to get much worse, before they get better. I may have to see if I can find a DVD copy of Escape From New York somewhere. (Hat tip to Don Suber.)
