Sam Fein on a Commuter Tax for Albany

On October 19, the Albany Common Council approved a resolution asking the state legislature to approve a commter tax for the city, where 86% of the workers are nonresidents. The proposal however has generated bipartisan opposition for area elected officials. Sam Fein, the City auditor, talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Albany why such a tax makes sense for Albany, as well as about other ways to deal with the city’s long term financial problems as the state’s capital city.
