New York’s Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus is advocating for changes to the state’s tax policy, urging increased personal income taxes on the wealthiest residents to fund essential programs and counter proposed cuts by Governor Kathy Hochul. The caucus, focusing on addressing economic, housing, healthcare, and maternal health disparities affecting people of color, emphasizes the importance of tax equity to support critical services and ensure a fair distribution of resources.
