New York Shakedown! Visiting Healthcare Heroes Must Pay NYS Income Taxes

The New York Shakedown! New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Says Visiting Healthcare Heroes Must Pay NYS Income Taxes

The New york Shakedown is back and this time Cuomo has health care workers in his sights. Health care heroes came from around the country to help fight the coronavirus outbreak in New York.

Now Cuomo and the state of New York say these heroes will have to pay state income taxes.

The taxes would also affect Samaritan’s Purse and other Christian aid organizations. They set up a temporary hospital in Central Park.

Cuomo said:

We’re not in a position to provide any subsidies right now because we have a $13 billion deficit. So there’s a lot of good things I’d like to do. If we get federal funding, we can do it. But it would be irresponsible for me to sit here looking at a $13 billion deficit and say I’m gonna spend more money. 

The issue first arose when Samaritan’s Purse was setting up its emergency field hospital. The charity’s comptroller noticed that NYS law requires anyone working in the state for more than 14 days to pay income tax.

Mac Properties To Tenants: PAY UP OR GET THE EFF OUT!

Mac Properties Tells Tenants Affected By COVID-19, “PAY UP OR GET THE EFF OUT!”

Mac Properties is using heavy-handed tactics in Chicago during the pandemic to ensure renters pay up. The company owned by Antheus Capital also got creative with doing evictions. The company decided to do themselves after the Cook County Sheriff stopped serving them on tenants.

Mac Properties is one of the few landlords still proceeding with evictions. The property management arm of Antheus Capital owns 5,000 units across Chicago.

Mac Properties is beginning to anger tenants by demanding they sign nondisclosure agreements before discussing rent-payment plans. Despite the pandemic, Mac has not granted rent forgiveness. Instead, it has outlined a policy that includes allowing residents to pursue “a path to lease termination” or to move into a cheaper unit.

Court records show the company filed two eviction claims in recent weeks in addition to the nine it sent in March. The April evictions were for tenant bad behavior and the March notices were for nonpayment.
