Joseph Spector in Politics on the Hudson reports that New York was again ranked 49th by the the Washington D.C.-based conservative group Tax Foundation, though the group earlier this month hosted an event awarding Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his tax policies. The group recently praised New York and Cuomo for its corporate tax policies, including reductions in corporate-tax rates and an end to a manufacturing tax.
