I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. But Hochul the Horrible should take her $500 rebate and get something done with those eyebrows of hers.
So no $ for upstate.

Inflation? Lying whore !! Sleepy Joe told us everything's fine with the economy?
Few things to consider:
I thought the State was suffering a multi-Billion Dollar Budget shortfall, and we're paying interest on money borrowed to cover it.?
If there's this much "overage" then the Tax rate is too high.
Lowering the Taxes encourages more spending/purchases, which improves the economy. (See R.W. Reagan and D.J. Trump)
Without doubt, this is pandering and damage control; it's a short time until the next election, and the Dems know folks are tired of their shit, so getting out now with money back and pseudo claims about "lower costs" and "decreased inflation" amount to double speak bolster their position.
I suspect a LOT of that Sales Tax money comes from collections by on-line retailers, who just a few years ago didn't collect Sales Tax, but now they do and tangentially they get a percentage of those monies collected as a "commission" so most are happy to get that extra money.
And as pointed out above, one might have to claim that payment as income...I don't know what people earn down towards the Capital and NYC, but up here 150K is high cotton, so it giver the perception of "sticking it to the rich" who aren't as apt to be effected, but it does further Class warfare.
I don't think She's able to send these rebates on her own volition of Office, the Legislature has to have a hand in it too...again, an election two year away isn't too early to start setting shit up.

Well election year is 12 months out. With Trump in office with her low approval ratings, you can never spend enough tax payer on money on your political security. 
Imagine willingly living in such a high taxed state.....

How ‘bout this: the State keeps the money in the bank, continues to collect vast amounts of sales tax, and lowers property and income taxes such that we are no longer number one in the nation? Then they can all resign their gifts of office and return to their previously held fiefdoms of Neighborhood Watch Supervisor, HOA Executive Karen, and PTA Powerlord, etc. Freakin politicians. Instead of taxing us to death they could actually make a positive fiduciary impact for once, but no. We’re rich- let’s blow it!!!!

Inflation results in higher taxes as you're charged 8% of the current price...Think about it; every time you buy something, you give the State an unearned portion just because you're buying something...nickle & dime here and there, but when you plunk down a thousand, or ten thousand or more, you have to give the State money over and above what you're actually buying the product for...now I get it, we have to collect taxes to keep our infrastructure going, but the more they take in, the less intelligent they become with that money.

$300? That's all?
How about all the interest?
How about all the interest?
Lowering the taxes means they have to do with less money perpetually, or risk their political careers by increasing the taxes when there is a shortfall.
giving a one-time gift makes them look like they care about us and only costs them ONCE.

Hochul's just a mess, her head is too big for her body, her teeth are too big for her head, and on top of that, her eyebrows are on the middle of her forehead. I mean C'mon man, she's a toothy bobblehead. I'm not being mean, I'm simply pointing out the obvious.
Her eyebrows are high as fuck, I think they're on drugs. Hochul's the village idiot of state Governors.
She's everything wrong with politics and she's whoring herself out for votes again

It’s not around election time so I am wondering why now? All I can think of is the polling showed people are so pissed about inflation they have to do something and Kamala lost so it’s ok to say inflation is bad now.

Maybe this is why. Cost of living is killing her in the polls for here reelection and most people don’t want to reelect her.
More than half of N.Y. voters don't want to reelect Hochul, Siena poll finds
But Hochul also continued to climb from record-low numbers recorded by Siena in September, when her favorability had fallen to 34%.
ALBANY — More than half of registered voters in New York would prefer to elect someone other than Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2026, according to a Siena College released Tuesday, with Democrats still largely united behind the first-term governor.
But Hochul also continued to climb from record-low numbers recorded by Siena in September, when her favorability had fallen to 34%.
The poll found that 39% of registered voters now find Hochul favorable while her job approval rating grew to 46%.
“The bad news is that both ratings remain stubbornly underwater,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. “Hochul has not had a positive favorability rating since January of this year and she has never had 50% or more voters view her favorably.”
There was more good news for Hochul in the poll: the two members of Congress who’ve said they’re seriously considering challenging her in 2026 — a Democrat and a Republican — are largely unknown by voters.
About two-thirds of voters said they either
