Hochul Begs Wealthy Floridians to Return to New York. She Can Pound Sand.
21st March 2026
I would have put it a little more bluntly.
New York’s desperate governor is turning to a well-known practice in New York City: aggressive begging.
While speaking at Politico’s “New York Agenda: Albany Summit” last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, admitted that the state’s tax base has eroded and that it faces a deepening fiscal crisis.
She then put out a call for wealthy, former New Yorkers to come back to the state so they can be robbed again by beneficent government overlords.
