On the Issues | Slater for NY

With affordability and the rising cost of living continuing to squeeze New York families and seniors, Assemblyman Matt Slater (R,C-Yorktown) is calling on Gov. Kathy Hochul to include a major expansion of New York's retirement income tax exemption in her 2027 Executive Budget. Slater has formally written to Gov. Hochul and Division of the Budget Director Blake Washington requesting that the state adopt the framework of his legislation, A.2017, which would gradually increase New York's private retirement income tax exemption from the current $20,000 to $100,000.

Slater has formally written to Gov. Hochul and Division of the Budget Director Blake Washington requesting that the state adopt the framework of his legislation, A.2017, which would gradually increase New York's private retirement income tax exemption from the current $20,000 to $100,000. Under Slater's proposal, the exemption would increase to $40,000 in 2027, $60,000 in 2028, $80,000 in 2029 and $100,000 in 2030, after which it would be indexed to inflation.

The Legislature has done its job, and now we need the governor to finish the job,” concluded Slater. “Supporting the men and women who volunteer to keep our communities safe should never be a partisan issue. I urge Gov. Hochul to sign this bill and give our volunteer first responders the support they have earned.” The bipartisan legislation, A.6790-A, would increase the state personal income tax credit for eligible volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers from $200 to $800.

I am standing up to the CCP and other hostile nations of foreign by introducing A5301 which would prohibit them from owning property in New York State. This is basic common sense, but New York State has once again been asleep at the wheel and failed to act—even as massive swaths of farmland in states like California and Oklahoma has been targeted.
