A coalition of community groups protests at the North Cove Marina in Battery Park on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 against the tax breaks written into the New York State budget for buyers of luxury yachts and private airplanes. Buyers of yachts would only pay tax on the first $230,000, topping off at $9200, of the cost no matter how expensive the yacht was. If you buy a plane you pay no sales tax at all if it carries fewer than 20 people. (© Richard B. Levine)
