Taxpayers spend an estimated $110 million a year on those taxes alone. This is a move Mayor Bloomberg came upon with top retailers in order to help boost the retail sector of the state. Before any of the above will go into affect it will require the approval from the state Legislature and Governor Eliot Spitzer.
