Westchester Insider: Election Desk 2022 News: Lawler: Millionaire Maloney Making NY Even More Unaffordable.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: LAWLER: HUDSON VALLEY FAMILIES 

CAN'T AFFORD MILLIONAIRE SEAN PATRICK MALONEY. 

Cites Middle Class Tax Hike, Congestion Pricing Tax, and 

$10,000 College Vote Bribe as Trifecta Against

Struggling New York Taxpayers.

August 29, 2022

“Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney insists on making life even more expensive for working- and middle-class New Yorkers already struggling to get by in a state with some of the highest taxes and inflation in America. 

“Within just the past few weeks alone, Mr. Maloney has supported a trifecta of new taxes and fees on Hudson Valley families — a middle-class tax increase as part of the misnamed ‘Inflation Reduction Act’; a $9-$23 daily congestion pricing tax on commuters driving into Manhattan south of 60th Street, and a $10,000 student loan giveaway that will force middle-and working-class families to bear the cost of loans taken out by strangers earning up to $125,000 per year. That passalong will be especially galling to hard working trade professionals who couldn't afford college for themselves, but now have to help pay for other people’s higher education. 

“Millionaire Maloney is a classic tax-spend-and-borrow extremist who genuinely believes he can spend our money better than we can. He has no sense whatsoever what living in New York is like for people who aren’t as wealthy as he is. 

“Millionaire Maloney also broke his promise to reverse the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction Cap that hiked taxes on tens of thousands of middle-class Hudson Valley families, despite his Democrat colleagues controlling all three branches of the federal government for the past two years.

“After 10 years living in the Washington bubble, and building his wealth to a level many of his constituents can only dream of, Rep. Maloney is hopelessly out of touch with what life is like for the vast majority of the folks he represents.

“I adamantly oppose President Biden’s naked, $10,000 bribe of students; I’ll stop congestion pricing dead in its tracks if I’m elected, and I’ll give Hudson Valley families real tax relief, which will include the reversal of SALT. 

“I’ll get these things done because I know what voters need. Unlike the five-term, millionaire globe-trotting congressman, I actually speak with my constituents. They are desperate for some real economic relief. Perhaps Mr. Maloney missed that memo during his private flight to the south of France.”
