New York City’s Independent Budget Office proposed restoring the commuter tax as a potential budgeting option. The tax previously equaled .45 percent of wages earned in the city by commuters and would generate an estimated $3.1 billion by 2013.
I must say, this city budget lede writing was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I couldn't decide between writing a lede on what had the most impact, what was most recent or which proposed budget option would save the most money. And trying to navigate through that document AND read all the potential options as well as write the lede in 30 mins was a ridiculous time crunch. I think I escaped in 28 mins. Whew.
