New York Taxes?

New York get ready!  Gov. David Paterson has a plan to close a $15.4 billion dollar budget cap.  His plan is a simple one, cutting city costs including public school aid by $698 million and the ellimination of over 500 state jobs.    Further, his plan calls for 137 new  taxes.  His plan is to increase the taxes on beer, wine, none-diet drinks, Itune downloads, Satellite TV and much more.  Paterson’s goal is to raise $121 billion dollars simply by raising your taxes, adding new taxes and cutting city services.  Is this a plan you want to live with?

Tired of such tax plans, tired of being over taxed?  Wouldn’t you like to live in a State that offers you more purchasing power, lower taxes and a great life style?  Hampton roads offers everything from boating to large Federal and State parks.  Spend the day relaxing on the sandy Virginia Beach ocean front,  jet skiing on the bay, shoppiing at any of the areas malls and so much more.

If  Virginia  is a city that  you would like to consider as your new home, I am available to discuss your options.
