3/4 And it’s not just millionaires, New York’s share of all earners making over $200,000 declined.
February 27, 2025 at 4:51 PM
2/4 New York’s share of the nation’s millionaires declined from 12.7 percent in 2010 to 8.7 percent in 2022. We’re behind California, Florida and Texas and losing out on billions of dollars more in tax revenue.

As lawmakers in Albany discuss the school budget today, remember: New York school spending is the highest in the nation per student yet reading and math test scores are middling.  

New York’s students deserve better for the $89 billion school districts will spend this year.
