Mamdani seeks wealth tax to plug NYC's $12B budget gap

In a highlight of his upcoming budget, Mamndani told reporters on Wednesday that his administration will be pursuing his campaign pledge to raise taxes by 2% on millionaires and increase the combined corporate tax rate to just over 22%. He said the tax hikes are needed to whittle down the $12 billion deficit he "inherited" from the Adams administration.
