Brewer clarifies council support for the tax and calls next panel
Brewer clarifies that she, Chair Lee, and the Speaker support the pied-à-terre tax, noting the Speaker initially suggested it to the state. She emphasizes the hearing is about implementation challenges, not the tax itself, then calls the next panel.
Thank you very much.
We always stand with CUNY, I want you to know.
But also, many of us, the speaker and certainly both co-chairs and many of the members support this tax.
I want to be very, very...
very clear and the speaker was the one who suggested it initially to the state.
So it's the tax we are for.
It's the implementation that has some challenges, but I just want to make that clear.
Some members may disagree, but I want you to know that Councilmember Lee and I in particular support this tax, just so you're clear.
Okay.
I don't think there's any questions.
So next panel.
Thank you all.
