The sponsor's argument

Why James Skoufis says this is needed

This legislation comes at the request of the Orange County Legislature. Sales taxes are a significant source of revenue for many counties. This bill grants Orange County in the State of New York an extension of current law to impose an additional sales, tax rate of increase is necessary to provide revenue to meet the ever-increasing costs associ- ated with funding local services, programs, and infrastructure.

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.
