I want Byron Brown, CEO of WROTB, to tell me how to "lobby" N.Y.State to reduce the income tax I pay to the state year in and year out. I want to get the savings too that he is similarly pleading for from the state on WROTB revenue, according to Howard Owens's report of 3/27/25.
I humbly and respectfully ask, "hat in hand", only for a 2% reduction from the 7% tax rate I paid to the state for 2024 income, to 5%(compared to Brown's requested decrease from a 49% tax-rate to 44%). The savings would allow me to increase the "distribution" of allowances I pay to my children; "right size" the increasing costs of my budget for food, clothing, and housing, all life's necessities; and "address" the very high amounts needed to pay for my automobile insurance. Any savings left over I could use for residential repairs and improvements.
It is simply "a matter of equity and fairness," considering that I also pay N.Y.State sales tax on a day in and day out basis on my purchases, and of which I am not "lobbying" for a reduction at this time.
