New York State Assembl y Members Set to Enjoy Luxurious Lounge Amid Tax Hikes on Residents. In a move that has sparked widespread outrage, New York State Assembly members are on the verge of approving a multi-million dollar renovation for a luxurious lounge in the state Capitol building. The proposed upgrade, which would bring the lounge's amenities in line with those of the U.S. Congress, comes as lawmakers are pushing for massive tax hikes on New York's working-class residents. Critics argue that the lavish spending is a slap in the face to the very people who are being asked to foot the bill for the state's budget shortfalls. As the Assembly debates the budget, residents are left wondering if their elected officials have lost touch with the realities of everyday life in New York.
