ALBANY—In response to what he says is an “arrow aimed at New York’s economic heart,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his annual “State of the State Address” promised New York State will file suit against the federal tax reform law and will also study the feasibility of restructuring the state’s income tax revenue system.
