I think that’s the kind of environment that you want to create for your communities,” said the Republican gubernatorial candidate. He added that two upcoming priorities for the county are lowering taxes and creating more energy opportunities to drill down on utility costs., backed Blakeman, adding that the housing market — and its extremely steep local costs — doesn’t lie about Nassau’s prosperity.praised the difference he is already seeing from Trump’s no-tax-on-tips stance One of Tsiorvas’ workers appeared on a December cover of The Post, griping that New York was putting a big dent into her hard-earned gratuities.“I cannot tell you how huge this is for ,” Tsiorvas said, adding that one waiter, John, is finally planning to take his three kids to Disney World. “Another example is my waitress, Cindy, who is a single mom raising her daughter alone.

He laughed that no tax on tips has made him the “most popular cabinet member” — especially among the service industry.
