Why we checked itHochul claims to have cut middle class tax rates to a historic low, which is a specific policy outcome that can be verified against New York State tax records and legislative history.
What we foundThe core fact — that Hochul signed a tax cut bringing New York middle-class rates to their lowest level in roughly 70 years — is substantiated by official budget documents and rated 'Mostly True' for a similar formulation, but Hochul has repeatedly conflated 'lowest rate in 70 years' with 'largest cut in 70 years,' the latter of which PolitiFact rated False.
