The Invest in Our New York coalition of advocates and elected officials launched its campaign Monday to raise $40 billion of revenue through increased taxes on the state’s wealthy, in order to fund a wide array of public investments and social programs. Members of the coalition say the state’s wealthiest people can afford a slightly higher tax bill, and that the money can go much further supporting the working class, who are struggling to afford rising costs for housing, health care, and education. “Everybody always worries about whether billionaires and the wealthy are gonna get up and leave from New York,” said Queens state Senator Jessica Ramos at a rally in front of City Hall on Monday. “I’m sick of seeing working-class New Yorkers have to leave New York state.”
