Resolution calling upon the State Legislature and the Governor to support S. 4373, an Act authorizing the City to reinstate the modest charge to non-residents who work in the City for their use of City services, also known as the "commuter tax", the elimination of which is costing the City of New York half a billion dollars a year during a time when the City, is facing serious financial difficulties as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks, and must do even more, in the wake of the attacks, to protect those who work and live in the City.
