Experts blame taxes, business climate for continued NYS population losses

Charles and Jane McLellan moved to the Rochester area in 1964. They say a job at Kodak prompted the move.

Since then, they've called the area home. But as of next month, their new home will be North Carolina.

"We’re not moving because of the weather. We’re used to the weather," said Charles McLellan. "We been up here for 55 years. Regardless of what the governor says, we’re not moving because of snow."

Kent Gardner, the chief economist at the Center for Governmental Research says the population decline in New York and other parts of the northeast is part of an ongoing trend.

"Part of it is taxes, part of it is just the vitality of industries we have," said Gardner. "The property tax bite here in New York State is pretty significant."

Gardner says the trend of people fleeing New York State over taxes and/or a better business climate has been going on for about two decades.

I agree. This state has serious issues to address. Leaving will only feed his Liberal agenda.   

Not worth the investment any longer, NY is a lost cause. We will never get right leaning leaders again, and if we do, it'll be a RINO.

If you figure that you get a good twenty years of living after retirement, the difference in property taxes alone between NY and say, TN, VA, NC is about $250k during that time period (at least for me it is - it may be more or less for your individual situation).

I look at the fact that I would be leaving and not letting the NY Liberals get my retirement $$ to fund their pipe dreams of socialism.
