Governor Paterson’s Clothing Tax Will Hurt Poor
Gov. Paterson is downplaying the new taxes in the freshly completed state budget, but admits at least one will hurt the poor.
Paterson, speaking on a conference call with reporters, acknowledged the temporary reinstatement of the 4% state sales tax on clothing and shoe purchases of $110 or less will put a strain on those who can least afford it.
The governor put the blame for the tax squarely on the Legislature.
