Bruce Blakeman’s tax-slashing plan restores hope for New York

As Gov. Kathy Hochul keeps making New York more expensive while pretending otherwise, challenger Bruce Blakeman just rolled out a plan that really would boost affordability.

Blakeman vows to slash state taxes by a whopping $35 billion, about $7,000 for an average family of four.

Low-income taxpayers would benefit most: His plan calls for eliminating state income taxes completely for single filers earning less than $50,000 and for married couples below $100,000.

That means the average couple in 45 of the state’s 62 counties would pay absolutely nothing — zilch.

The GOP wannabe also wants a break for middle-income earners ($100,00 and $500,000), cutting their top rate from about 6% to 4%.
