Raise
New York should raise taxes on its highest earners to pay for public programs.
Raise
Don’t raise
As Senate Finance Chair in 2024, Krueger defended a proposed income tax surcharge on people earning over $5 million, saying it affects very few New Yorkers. The Senate's 2026 one-house budget she helped present again proposed a surcharge on the top two income brackets.
“And frankly, the amount of tax difference for them, when they hold it up on their overall income, and their tax base, will not be significant for any of them, either.”
