AP... just my opinion but if New York City goes underwater it might be yet another blessing for New York State.

I've run a manufacturing business in NY and it's hard for understand why anyone would want to do it today. Utica and Oneida County were always very helpful but the state people always seemed to feel that it was their job to make things difficult to do business in NY. I just remembered an example of why I felt this way. Some of our products had parts that needed to be copper plated. We had a small plating room in our facility and worked hard to make sure everything was in compliance. One of the things we did was capture all of our rinse water (including the water used to wash the floor) and treat it to remove the copper. Once when there was a change in regulations, a couple guys from the waste authority worked with us to assure that we remained in compliance. One year we were inspected by the state guys and got a fine. The reason for the fine: one piece of paper (which was an 8 part form and sent to everybody including the guy doing the inspection) had been put in the wrong file folder. He knew we had done the proper tests and filed the paper work since he had a copy on his clipboard. The problem was that our filing gal didn't understand that for NY tax paperwork got filed by fiscal year and DEC paperwork was filed by calendar year. It wasn't the size of the fined that bugged me, it was just the chickenSh*t way of squeezing me for every dime possible. |

If New York can get away with it, no matter how small 'it' is, they'll do it.

I decided to retire in NYS. Basically because I have no money to move.......lol. If I could do it I would go back to Eureka, Missouri or Pacific, Missouri or Webster Grove or even Ballwin. Is Missouri a good state for retirees?
Bankrate analyzed multiple data points and assigned a weight to each category: affordability (40%), well-being (20%), culture and diversity (15%), weather (15%), and crime (10%). According to the report, Missouri ranks as the fifth best place to retire among the 50 states.Apr 5, 2023
