Gov. Cuomo, Legislature agree on middle-class tax cuts
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) and state legislative leaders say they've reached an agreement that will provide income tax cuts to New Yorkers in hopes of creating jobs.
Under Cuomo's plan, a New Yorker making $100,000 a year would save about $400 in taxes a year, while taxes would be raised for those making more than $2 million.

The debate over tax cuts had been centered around what Cuomo called an unfair tax plan, since under the current system, someone making $20,000 a year pays the same marginal tax rate as an individual making $20 million a year. Group rallies for extension of NY 'millionaire's tax'
