Proposed bill would tax New Yorkers who tap ‘anti-weaponization’ fund at 100%
A proposed bill in New York aims to impose a 100% state income tax on residents who access the Trump administration's 'anti-weaponization' fund. Assemblyman Alex Bores argues that this fund is essentially a political payout for those involved in the January 6 insurrection. The bill, called the Anti-Insurrectionist Act, seeks to prevent any enrichment from what Bores describes as an illegal slush fund.
