Issue Position: Repeal the MTA Payroll Tax

Issue Position

Lee will propose legislation to ELIMINATE the MTA "Foley" Payroll Tax. Lee's opponent cast the deciding vote to create the MTA Payroll Tax. The MTA "Foley" Payroll Tax is killing small businesses, schools, hospitals, non-for-profits, and local governments in Islip, Brookhaven and throughout Long Island. Entities paying the tax have been forced to lay off employees, cut payroll and watch their profits shrink. We must also reform the MTA's pattern of wasteful spending and mismanagement instead of supporting bailouts like the Foley Payroll Tax.
