That's exactly the point of statehood! To get AWAY from NYC ... we don't want them either.
Really?, what will happen if NYC was to say they would implement a commuter tax for those who work but live outside of the cities boundaries. Bet that will go over well with the LI folks who depend on NYC jobs to pay their taxes and put food on the table.

Im sure it's cheaper than subsidizing your schools.
Yeah right...you guys have made your bed (voting in downstate/nyc region politicians across the board who only care about NYC and make statewide mandates that only benefit the city) and now you must lie in it. If anyone gets to break away from NYS it's Upstate NY. Talk about taxation without representation.
But again, it's a pipedream for any region to break away from any state in the union....it takes a major actor of congress and as we've seen they aren't exactly the most "get it done" type of crowd.
Is this a joke? Because downstate NY, ESPECIALLY Long Island, pays more state taxes than it gets back in services ... which benefit threadbare upstate NY.

There are many US jurisdictions that receive taxes and those that pay to support districts that are less affluent, would you rather promote greater disparities in infrastructure, schools, standard of living.
By the way anyone that is willing to divorce themselves from NYC is really out there. They are the wealthiest city in the world.
