Speaking on Tuesday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo reportedly said that health care workers who traveled to New York to help the state reeling from the coronavirus will have to pay state taxes.

Cuomo stated, “We’re not in a position to provide any subsidies right now because we have a $13 billion deficit. So there’s a lot of good things I’d like to do, and if we get federal funding, we can do, but it would be irresponsible for me to sit here looking at a $13 billion deficit and say I’m gonna spend more money, when I can’t even pay the essential services,” PIX11 News reported.
