Population declines: New Yorkers fleeing in greater numbers, Census shows

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/
Press Connects  . . . New York's population stagnation and its decline in many parts of the state has been an issue for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to contend with, and a point of criticism from Republicans, including President Donald Trump.
"In February, Trump told reporters at the White House that he loves upstate New Yorkers, but said, "They’ve been treated very badly."
"The president continued: "If New York isn’t gonna treat them better, I would recommend they go to another state where they can get a great job.
"Cuomo has cast blame on potential future population losses on Trump's policies, particularly on the president's federal tax reforms in 2017 that limits income-tax deductions on state and local taxes to $10,000 a year.
"The Democratic governor said he fears the deduction cap could mean wealthy people may choose to move to lower-tax states. New York and other states with high taxes, like New Jersey and Connecticut, are suing the federal government over the so-called SALT cap." . . .
