Meh, seems like this is treading political waters again.  I get that you need incentives to bring companies in.  What about companies that are already here?  Could that growth have been stimulated from within?  Most NYS business pay dearly, and receive little or no benefit.  Adding an Amazon HQ in NYC does very little to benefit me, or anyone eight hours downstate.  $150k sounds like a lot, but in NYC is not that much.  Drop HQ in Rochester, and I might sing a different tune.  Heck, I might even hand them my resume, lol.  NYC is doing fine.  Western NY needs help.  Does that make more sense, from my point of view?

You can figure in $10k per year in property taxes alone. 

Around here your at around 15 k for the year at that price

Live free or die?  Wow.  That's a lot.  Maybe that's school taxes lumped in too? eight and a half % sales tax, though, right?
