Issues: Taxes
Fighting the soaring tax burden on the residents of the 21st Assembly District. Patricia's opponent, in her two years in the Assembly, voted for:
the 2019-2020 New York State Budget that contained a tax/fee increases of $4.568 billion;
the 2020-2021 New York State Budget that contained a tax/fee increases of $28 million;
a new hospital assessment which was a back door tax, allowing the state to withhold a portion of county money, ultimately costing Nassau County residents approximately $7.3 million; and
the "Commuter Tax" of approximately $1 billion, which disproportionately taxes Nassau County residents commuting to lower New York City.
