Forget, Florida \u2014 come out East!<\/p>\n

Suffolk County will offer tax breaks to Big Apple companies to relocate there if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani <\/a>is elected mayor of New York City, the Long Island region\u2019s top official said Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Mr. Mamdani wins, I\u2019m going to encourage many of the corporations that do business in New York City [to] come to Suffolk\u201d about 70 miles east, County Executive Ed Romaine said on WABC 770 AM\u2019s \u201cCats Roundtable\u201d show.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to give them tax breaks. They\u2019re going to be able to do better,\u201d Romaine told host John Catsimatidis.<\/p>\n

Romaine made his alluring pitch to CEOs after Catsimatidis told him that Florida officials are trying to recruit Big Apple CEOs <\/a>to relocate their firms to the Sunshine State, where many New York transplants already live.<\/p>\n

Romaine said there\u2019s no need to travel that far south.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome out to Suffolk,\u201d Romaine said.<\/p>\n

Romaine, a Republican, said he doesn\u2019t believe that Mamdani, currently a 33-year-old state assemblyman representing Astoria and western Queens, has the experience and wisdom to run the nation\u2019s largest metropolis.<\/p>\n

He noted that Mamdani\u2019s proposed free-bus fare program<\/a> for the city \u201csounds great\u201d \u2014 but said someone has to pay for it.<\/p>\n

Mamdani has proposed $9 billion in higher taxes on billionaires and corporations to subsidize such initiatives as free bus fares, expanded free childcare and more affordable housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe taxpayers who pay the taxes, how much are they going to put up with?\u201d Romaine said.<\/p>\n

He said New York state is already suffering from an exodus <\/a>because of the high cost of living that includes hefty taxes.<\/p>\n

Mamdani campaign spokeswoman Dora Pekec\u00a0responded in a statement to The Post, \u201cWorking people are being pushed out of the city they built, and it\u2019s because of corrupt politicians like [former Gov.] Andrew Cuomo and [current Mayor] Eric Adams,\u201d who are running against her boss in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cZohran will make this city affordable, and deliver a quality of life that ensures New York City is a magnet for workers, businesses, and opportunity,\u201d the rep said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forget, Florida \u2014 come out East!
