"While I'm gratified the Governor listened to my call to extend the state's income tax deadline to May 17th to parallel the federal government's extension, I'm disappointed he has given a tax slap to those New Yorkers who collected unemployment by failing to follow the federal government's lead and exempting the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits from 2020 taxable income."  

"This is an example of the Governor being too consumed with the serious federal and state investigations into his nursing home deaths cover-up and harassment of staff to effectively lead and govern and be an advocate for the taxpayers of New York State. I will continue to pursue legislation to help our unemployed New Yorkers who have suffered under Cuomo's rule during this pandemic."
