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 income tax surcharge on its residents from January 1, 2026 to Janury 1, 2028. Because revenues from the income tax surcharge are included in the city's budget, this extension is necessary in order to help Yonkers maintain 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.
