<title>Republicans and Dems spin the new tax bill</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18906/20111208/republicans-and-dems-spin-the-new-tax-bill</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 8, 2011) New York lawmakers piled on last night to approve an overhaul of the state&apos;s income tax rates. First, the Republican led Senate voted 55-0 for the measure. The Assembly followed with a 130-8 vote. The measure was backed by Governor Andrew Cuomo. It will increases taxes on millionaires, but give 4.4 million middle-class residents a rare break worth $200 to $400 a year.State Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos says it’s the first rate reduction for middle class earners in 50 years. But conservative critics say New York will continue to have one of the nation&apos;s highest tax rates, and New York City residents will pay the highest rate in the nation.The deal required a change of mind for most of the lawmakers who passed it last night, and for Gov. Cuomo, who had promised to “freeze” taxes during his campaign last year. As they gathered for the vote yesterday, lawmakers were busy portraying the deal in the best possible light. Critics complained about the hasty, behind-closed-doors process. In Albany, Karen DeWitt reports.
