**Governor Kathy Hochul’s consistent opposition to raising New York City’s personal income tax on millionaires remains the central barrier.** The 2-percentage-point surcharge proposed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani requires explicit state legislative authorization in Albany, which Hochul has rejected in budget talks despite support in both chambers of the legislature. Instead, state leaders approved a pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes in spring 2026, generating revenue without altering income-tax rates. With the state’s FY2027 budget process now concluded and no new authorization for the income-tax increase included, passage before the end of 2026 appears structurally unlikely absent a major shift in gubernatorial position or legislative override dynamics. Traders price this outcome at roughly 94.5 percent “No,” reflecting the governor’s veto power and the substitution of an alternative revenue measure.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if both the following occur:
1. Zohran Mamdani wins the 2025 NYC Mayoral election.
2. A policy is enacted in New York City before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, which would establish a tax increase of 2% or more targeting individuals, households, or family units with an income of at least $1 million (USD or equivalent).
When the proposed tax goes into effect (e.g., if a qualifying tax is enacted for the 2028 fiscal year) will have no bearing on this market's resolution, so long as the policy has actually been enacted within this market's timeframe.
The policy will be considered to have been enacted if a local or state law is passed, or mayoral executive order is issued which will bring the stated tax into effect within the specified timeframe. The introduction, proposal, or announcement of such a policy without legal enactment will not qualify.
Policies which include limited exceptions—such as such as exceptions for specific families, asset classes, etc.—will still qualify as long as a general tax as described is enacted.
If Mamdani is confirmed to have lost the 2025 NYC Mayoral election by a consensus of credible reporting, or if the stated terms are not satisfied within this market's timeframe, this market will immediately resolve to “No”.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
