I didn't know there's a ciy/state division in terms of tax. I might have been affected after glossing over some news on someone in the mayor's circle. She sounded slightly unhinged claiming that landlords were immoral for owning property. I'm not sure, could be made up. Maybe had my wires crossed.

There's a lot that can be said about the new guy, but this was from the state, not the city, and he's also only been mayor for five days (for good or ill).
