NFIB In The News

New York State Director Ashley Ranslow spoke with the Albany Times Union regarding reports of low sales tax revenue in the state due to a reduction in consumer spending: “Inflation began to hit consumers hard in recent years and hasn’t let up much since. That’s forced consumers to make difficult choices that’s often led to a restraint on spending, Ranslow said. ‘Keep in mind, these counties are down [in sales tax revenue] and with higher prices. I think the toll of inflation, you’re really starting to see that now…There is a lot of uncertainty, particularly among small business owners and a lot of pessimism,’ Ranslow said. ‘I think everyone feels like they don’t know what’s going to happen next.’” To read the entire article go HERE.
