The sponsor's argument

Why Andrea Stewart-Cousins says this is needed

This bill extends the authority of the city of Yonkers to impose an additional one-half of one percent of sales tax from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2027. First authorized in 2015, this legislation was enacted to ensure fiscal stability and the continued delivery of crit- ical services to Yonkers residents. Sales and use taxes are a signif- icant source of revenue for the city. The additional sales tax revenue generated by the additional one-half of one percent of sales tax revenue each year significantly alleviates the present fiscal stress on the City, and its public school system, enabling efforts toward maintaining financial stability.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
