New York State Senate Democrats have reportedly threatened to strip Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan‘s property tax exemption over his use of facial recognition technology. According to the Daily News, lawmakers in Albany have proposed a budget resolution that will take away a 40-year-old property tax exemption for MSG. “Millions of businesses across the state of New York pay property taxes, and Madison Square Garden doesn’t. What’s wrong with this picture?” state Senator Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) said. “Madison Square Garden is a significant job creator and an economic leader within both our community and the city,” the spokesperson said.
