After speaking to Mayor Bloomberg yesterday, Gov. David Paterson is reconsidering a deal to tax
nonresident hedge fund managers as a means of generating new revenue to help the state close its budget deficit.
The revenue bill passed by the Assembly originally included a provision designed to raise $ 50 million imposing state income tax on the investment income of
nonresident partners in New York - based
hedge funds — a move Mayor Michael Bloomberg called «the best thing that ever happened to Connecticut,» whose governor immediately invited New York firms to move to her state.
