纽约市市长提议提高9.5%的财产税,以弥补5.4B美元的预算缺口,理由是缺乏国家支持。 NYC mayor proposes 9.5% property tax hike to close $5.4B budget gap, citing lack of state support.

纽约市市长Zohran Mamdani提议增加9.5%的财产税,这是二十多年来第一次增加财产税,以解决2026年和2027年54亿美元的预算缺口,理由是国家对向富人和公司征税的支持不足。 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is proposing a 9.5% property tax increase—the first in over two decades—to address a $5.4 billion budget gap for 2026 and 2027, citing insufficient state support for taxing the wealthy and corporations. 该计划是初步预算1 270亿美元的一部分,包括从城市储备中提取近10亿美元,从退休人员健康基金提取2.29亿美元。 The plan, part of a preliminary $127 billion budget, includes drawing nearly $1 billion from city reserves and $229 million from a retiree health fund. Mamdani称增税为最后手段,强调这将对中低收入居民、特别是多家庭建筑的租户产生不成比例的影响。 Mamdani calls the tax hike a last resort, emphasizing it would disproportionately affect middle- and lower-income residents, especially renters in multifamily buildings. 包括市议会领导人和主计长马克·莱文在内的批评者警告这一举动是倒退的,并有长期财政稳定的风险。 Critics, including City Council leaders and Comptroller Mark Levine, warn the move is regressive and risks long-term fiscal stability. 州长Kathy Hoghul反对增加援助,但提供15亿美元的紧急援助。 Governor Kathy Hochul opposes the increase but has offered $1.5 billion in immediate aid. 最后预算必须在6月30日前核准,谈判正在进行中。 The final budget must be approved by June 30, with negotiations ongoing.
