New NYS budget: Gas +$0.62 per gallon, natural gas +80%!

[C3D]

Or worse even

Albany Democrats approve ‘cap and invest’ plan that could increase gas prices by 62 cents per gallon

A new plan to fund green energy projects by charging polluters could hit New Yorkers hard in the pocketbook with projected increases in energy prices.

This is a Win-Win for everyone!

Well congrats this is and the states gay/lesbian bullshit is making my wife probably not apply for a state job. They are taking money out of my pocket through this and the raise she won’t get either. She said she doesn’t want us both tied here through jobs in case we want to make an exit. My oldest is talking about getting out of NYS and if he does we will likely fallow.

Certain energy-intensive industries like steelmaking will be exempt from the “cap and invest” program to keep them from moving out of state.

Multiple millionaires have already left NY due to taxes.
Thousands of "average" people have left due to taxes and cost of living.

These fucktards think that any business that can relocate to a state that doesn't screw them over will stay here? Add to that anyone that's been on the fence on whether they want to pack up and leave and there's going to be a mass exodus.

And some New Yorkers will get some relief from future energy bills once the department figures out how to do that in an “equitable manner” for “low-income households and disadvantaged communities” in an affordability study due Jan. 1, 2024, according to legislative language.

How many iron foundries or steel mills are even in NY, I am having a tough time finding them? I was always under the impression that they used carbon arc for heating?

There are still a few “energy intensive manufacturers“ left in NYS that come to mind: Republic Technologies (former Bethlehem Steel) has a bar mill in Lackawanna; Globe Metallurgical has silicon melting furnaces in N. Falls; Nucor Steel has a mini mill in Auburn; Corning Glass plants around Corning; Kennedy Valve Foundry in Elmira; Novelis and Alcoa aluminum plants in Oswego and Massena; Anaconda Brass (new name is?) in Buffalo and Revere Copper in Rome, and a handful of others around NYS.

This asinine policy will just further the conversion of NYS to a total economic manufacturing wasteland. I say again: Get out while you can.

CUT SPENDING!!!

Paying for people to stay here needs to end. Time for their choice is to move south. Freeze out all the riff raft so they are gone. My relatives are all "free stuff army captains" who call me dumb because I do not know all the handouts and not actively seeking them.

If they pay for my mortgage, then I will stay.
