Friends,

This past Sunday was our “Dump The MTA Payroll Tax” Rally and Press Conference at Pride Products, a local company affected by the MTA Tax.  I was very grateful for the strong showing at this event.

The MTA Payroll Tax is a tax which was placed on every business, school, local government, nonprofit and hospital in Suffolk County, costing Suffolk County Taxpayers more than $163,636,074 since its inception 2009.

For those of you who could not make it on Sunday, you can watch video of that press conference in three parts, part 1 here,part 2 here and part 3 here.

You can also read our press release here.  Newsday also wrote a story on our event. You can read that here.

For members of our Facebook community, I posted photos from the event here.

On Monday, in Albany, I was interviewed by Liz Benjamin for her statewide television show, Capital Tonight.

Please watch my interview on Youtube and share it with your friends.

I need your support. The MTA Payroll Tax will not be repealed without your full assistance. The need to repeal the MTA Payroll Tax can be easily communicated in a sound bite. The actual repeal of this tax will only come from a broader coalition of louder advocates with bold ideas to fix our mass transit system.

I have created an online petition, for you to join our fight to repeal the MTA Payroll Tax. Please visit our website, sign our petition, and forward it to your friends, so we can deliver the message to Albany that we are serious about repealing the MTA Payroll Tax.

As I have said from day one, I will not rest until this tax is repealed!

Sincerely,

Lee
