Nick Reisman reports for Spectrum News that on July 17 State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office reported the state took in almost $7 billion less in the first quarter of the fiscal year in 2023 then New York received in the same quarter last year. State revenue from personal income taxes fell $7.1 billion in the first fiscal quarter of 2023.
