Fighting tax pirates from New York State: A Q&A with Sen. Steve Oroho
Updated May 12, 2021;
About 400,000 New Jerseyans typically commute to New York, but an estimated 90 percent of them worked from home after the pandemic slammed the door on interstate travel last year. New York taxed them anyway, because their employers are in New York.
Our truculent neighbor applies a “convenience of the employer” rule to tax all non-residents who work for a New York company unless “necessity, as distinguished from convenience, obligate the employee to out-of-state duties.” You’d think a once-in-a-century pandemic would make working at home a necessity, but New York asserts that those should be considered days worked in New York, and they believe the convenience rule provides the necessary cover.

I decided to try and come at this from a different direction.

A Senate committee on Thursday unexpectedly rejected a bill that would have weakened local power over warehouse development, and given a greater say to other municipalities and state and county planning authorities.
The bill (S-3688) sought to control a current surge in warehouse construction by requiring towns facing warehouse applications to tell adjoining municipalities about the plans and seek their approval. It also proposed that disputes should be decided by county planning boards, and that appeals would go to the State Planning Commission.
But the bill garnered only two “yes” votes and three abstentions on the five-person panel, meaning that it failed to advance, in a rebuff to its architects including Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester).
