On Wednesday's broadcast of WCNY's "Capitol Pressroom," New York City Mayor Eric Adams (responded to a question on state tax policy by stating that "We're seeing a hemorrhaging of, not only working-class people, but we're concerned about losing that high tax base, because that tax base pays for our police officers, our teachers, our firefighters, keeps our streets clean." Host David Lombardo asked, [relevant exchange begins around 10:10] "Gov.

A recent report from management consultancy McKinsey estimates the market for regional air mobility (RAM) could reach as high as $115 billion by 2035.

Governments and data make for a complex relationship. In some cases, agencies are obligated to make information publicly accessible. In others, sensitive data is highly regulated and therefore needs to be protected to keep it out of the public domain. With key information changing hands internally via various departments and externally via third parties, it's vital that government agencies can access systems and share data securely -- particularly given increases in cyberattacks.

I'm late for filing :( and looks like I need to complete my tax filing by mail at this point. To make matters worse, the amount I'm told I owe is more than 7k which has never happened to me before. This is my turbo tax summary for 2022, and I'm filing as single (I was legally divorced early 2022). I worked as a program manager at a tech company all of 2022.
