DeBLASIO & CUOMO ARE AT IT AGAIN, FOR THOSE OF US WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY LIVING IN--OR WORKING IN--NEW YORK CITY

De Blasio bashes Cuomo’s plea for wealthy Hamptonites to return to NYC----Mayor Bill de Blasio took a shot at Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday for trying to lure the wealthy back to New York with the promise of tax breaks — and said he would like to raise taxes on the rich if federal coronavirus aid doesn’t come through.  Hizzoner’s remarks came days after Cuomo said he was begging rich New Yorkers who fled to their vacation homes during the coronavirus pandemic to return — and was even offering to cook them dinner.

“To the point about the folks out in the Hamptons, I have to be very clear about this, we do not make decisions based on the wealthy few,” de Blasio told reporters during his daily press conference Thursday. “I was troubled to hear this concept that because wealthy people have a set of concerns about the city that we should accommodate them — that we should build our policy and approaches around them.”

“That’s not how it works around here anymore,” the mayor continued. “This city is for New Yorkers, this city is for people who live here, work here, fight to make this place better, fight through this crisis.” READ MORE AT https://nypost.com/2020/08/06/de-blasio-bashes-cuomos-plea-for-wealthy-to-return-to-nyc/
