Albany, N.Y. (WHAM) - Two New York State legislators are planning to launch a effort to determine the causes behind the state's population loss.

Federal estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau show New York has lost 76,790 people from 2018 to 2019 - making it the fourth largest state in the country. This also makes the fourth straight year of a population decline for New York.

Duh. They really have to ask?

[rllngrk33]

They are seriously asking this question? YES! Really?YES! Most of our politicians are truly clueless. No one paying attention would have to ask this question. Never mind to plan on convening a panel after receiving the results of the survey. Can they not read? YES! Are they unable to comprehend the results of a simple (and wholly unnecessary) survey? YES!

Wake up! New York City is NOT New York State.
The five (urine-smelling) boroughs of NYC occupy maybe 1/50th of the srea or less, have half the population, and growing. It is the other half that live in the rest of a beautiful, scenic state that are suffering from having to submit to the will of the NYC dwellers. They are the ones that are leaving.

Thank you. You made me laugh with your EMPHATIC! responses.

NYS’s problem is NO fracking...

The problem being the politicians cant figure out how to confiscate every penny generated without sharing it with the people who are generating the revenue.

The French Quarter also has the odors of vomit and garbage.

[Sacajaweau]

How many people have to tell you that taxes and “rules” are out of control.

[metmom]

THANKS!!!!

[metmom]

Same thing here.

EVERYWHERE I go people are either leaving, have friends or family that’s leaving, or plan on doing it in the near future, as soon as circumstances permit.

[metmom]

Stupid new *justice reform* laws.

[Jane Long]

Ha ha.

[metmom]

Not in our case.

We’re leaving that and I plan on being very vocal in politics where we’re going and warn them about what they are heading for voting dem.

[The Mayor]

6 billion dollar debt this budget, taxing for start gazing, helmets for car drivers and passengers??? The lunatic Cuomo get worse everyday.

[TonyM]

Its obvious...People want their Big Gulps!

[fella]

The New York political leaders are so out of touch that they’ve got to ask why people are leaving?

This is priceless.

All they need to do is look in any mirror. But then bloodsucking vampires can’t do that.

... The French Quarter also has the odors of vomit and garbage.

It would take a supertanker load of Clorox to fumigate the French Quarter

I’ll take “because it sucks serious balls” for $200, Alex.

BWAHAHAHA!!!!

That will go over as well as making the tri- county area of Michigan (Wayne, Oakland and Macomb) a separate state. And has been suggested as well. Do that and Michigan becomes a very conservative state.
