So im not a Johnson fan because of his taxes but he's walked back on the income tax part as well as the commuter tax. He aligns himself with some group who recommended a city income tax but he's not biting on it. I've also heard that some people talked sense into him regarding the commuter tax and how dumb it is.
Not sure about the other stuff but they are bad. While I won't be voting for Johnson, it's important to at least be accurate.
